The universe and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach are perfect examples. The Bach in Space experience brings these two fascinating cosmos together in an entirely new dimension. While original, razor-sharp footage from NASA and ESA glows in sci-fi colors on a giant screen, the music is brought to life live on the piano—at times powerful, at times delicate, and always surprising. Look forward to musical highlights such as excerpts from the "Well-Tempered Clavier," the "Goldberg Variations," or the "Italian Concerto." An unforgettable experience for anyone who wants to feel music and space in a whole new way. Secure your tickets now! Organizer: Alegria Konzert GmbH Seating Map
