Bachwochen Thun: Abschlusskonzert

Music expresses feelings - from deep sadness to comforting certainty to exuberant joy, to name just a very broad spectrum. The Swiss Youth Choir under the direction of Nicolas Fink will also bring a whole kaleidoscope of emotions to the Stadtkirche Thun at the end of the Bachwochen Thun 2024. The young singers will present the lively Pentecost cantata "Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten!" and the cantata "Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis", which develops from deep distress and despair into consolation and praise of God. They will be accompanied on period instruments by the Orchestra La Scintilla, the baroque orchestra of Zurich Opera House.

"The best concerts are the ones where the applause doesn't start immediately after the final chord. This was also the case with the Bachwochen Mass in B minor, after which there was silence for a minute until it was abruptly broken by enthusiastic applause and standing ovations." Thuner Tagblatt
