Despite being written some 300 years ago, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach is a source of ever-renewing inspiration for people of all ages and backgrounds; offering listeners and performers a truly universal experience. For Déjà Vu we bring his rich sonic world to life in five distinct events, celebrating his music for unaccompanied instruments on cello, harpsichord, synthesisers, organ and keyboard. The Art of Fugue dates from the last decade of Bach’s life and is believed to be his final work. It is his most in-depth and exhaustive exploration of the possibilities derived from a single musical theme - introduced, transformed and elaborated into increasingly complex, powerful hypnotic sonic experiences. Published a year after his death it remains unfinished, with the last of its 18 pieces lacking a final page. It is thought that between 30 and 40 bars of music are missing - the music ends abruptly mid-line. As the final movement evaporates into thin air, we are left to contemplate what might have followed. James McVinnie returns to Bold Tendencies to play this very special programme on the Bach 2000 Organ - a white and gold pipe organ designed after the great organ of 1711 at Freiburg Cathedral, built to mark the 250th anniversary of Bach’s death. This unique mobile instrument has travelled widely, visiting St Mark’s Venice, the Musikverein Vienna and St Nicolai Leipzig; and now coming to our rooftop home. This event is supported by Scops Art Trust. Presented by Bold Tendencies. All ages.
