On Sunday, September 6, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. we will be performing our Bach and Sons organ and multi-media concert at the Bach Wedding Church in Dornheim, Germany. It is thrilling to have the opportunity to present our concert, which we see as a means to preserve the story of Johann Sebastian Bach for future generations, in this historic church.
JS Bach’s Wedding Church is now a well-known memorial to Bach, with thousands of visitors from all over the world. However, this monument to the past was nearly destroyed in 1996. It was in such a desolate state that demolition was being considered. However, a group of villagers, led by true patrons of the arts and Bach history Rosemarie and Juergen Frey, rescued the building and provided for its restoration.
These citizens of Dornheim, with financial support from the Foundation for the Protection of Monuments in Thuringia, the Office for Protection of Monuments, and the Protestant churches of Thuringia, have not only provided a place for organists to perform, but through their research and preservation work have made sure this integral part of the story of Johann Sebastian Bach never dies.
