Description

The award-winning vocal quintet from Leipzig is made up of former members of the renowned Thomanerchor, the boys' choir from Bach's church! Founded in 1992 by former members of St. Thomas’s Boys Choir in Leipzig, Amarcord has since become one of the world’s premier vocal ensembles and leading representatives of Leipzig’s music scene in Germany and abroad. Amarcord’s hallmarks include a unique tone, breathtaking homogeneity, musical authenticity, and a good dose of charm and humor. They perform a vast and highly diverse repertoire from medieval plainsong to a cappella folksong arrangements. “Exquisite, a musically dazzling union of intelligent emotion, glittering esprit and supple elegance.” -Schwäbische Zeitung (Germany) Covid Update: Please check our webpage for the latest Covid19 information. Bach Ascending is a new Savannah concert series that centers on Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Bach’s music has inspired composers and performers for hundreds of years, and Bach Ascending seeks to spread a joyful understanding of how broad and enduring his music still is today. Our concerts are open to anyone for FREE, so that we can remove any hurdles for every person who wants to attend. The series is only possible through the generosity of our patrons, supporters, and sponsors. Bach composed his music in Leipzig Germany for a Lutheran church, and our primary venue is the historic Lutheran Church of the Ascension, located on Wright Square. In fact, the church itself was founded in 1741 when Bach was still alive, and it has played a prominent role in Savannah’s musical and cultural life.
