An atmosphere of musical and scientific enlightenment.
In 1702 in Leipzig, Bach’s great friend and colleague Telemann recognised the need for an environment in which his students could perform in public and where musical and academic pursuits could be fostered. The Collegium Musicum was born. When Bach arrived in 1723, he inherited this now famous concert society, and it was here that many of his most famous works were adapted and born.
Featuring Telemann’s Tafelmusik and Bach’s timeless Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, this program presents works performed at the Collegium by Bach, his predecessors and his children, shining a light on the legacy of this remarkable and enlightened institution.
