There are more than 300 Bach choirs and Bach ensembles worldwide, most of which are made up of amateurs. For many, their lives are inextricably linked with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. What do people seek and find in his music? What connects them across continents? What fascination lies in the music of the famous German composer, which manages to transcend borders, cultures, religions and centuries?
An uplifting music fuelled journey through six continents to meet amateur musicians and singers who have made Bach’s music the soundtrack of their lives.
“Magnificent. A proof of Bach’s emotionalizing power for people across all countries and cultural borders, with the therapeutic side effects of such music.” - Süddeutsche Zeitung
