Bach in Space – Universe and Music United

Description

Distant galaxies, star nebulae, black holes – space closer than ever! On a huge screen, razor-sharp NASA images shine in colors known only from science fiction films. Mona Asuka, one of the outstanding pianists of her generation, plays the music of Johann Sebastian Bach live. She lets the full variety of forms of his music resonate. The result: a concert that feels like a journey through space and time. Image and music merge, the gaze wanders into infinity – and suddenly Bach's music seems so modern and timeless, as if it had just been written for this moment. Last year, the musical space journey completely thrilled the audience in Lucerne. “A highlight of space journeys as a separate genre of illustrated concerts was ‘Bach in Space’ with piano music to NASA images of the life and death of stars,” wrote the Luzerner Zeitung in its review. In November 2026, “Bach in Space” will return to the KKL Lucerne. The program includes excerpts from the “Well-Tempered Clavier,” the “Goldberg Variations,” or the “Italian Concerto.” Great classics – newly experienced, in a setting that guarantees goosebumps. “Bach in Space” is more than classical music: an experience for all who want to experience music and cosmos in a new dimension.
