Bach, the Universe and Everything is back with another season of celestial adventures.

Inspired by the music of JS Bach, composer and intergalactic genius, it is a concert season with a difference that places his cantatas in the context of the amazing cosmic discoveries of the last 350 years.

Exploring the ‘Final Frontier’ has drawn the most extraordinary ingenuity and inventions from humans in that time. Whilst warp travel may still only exist in fiction we can still marvel at extraordinary achievements in our reality. The clocks of John Harrison that solved the greatest scientific problem of his time in telling time on the oceans of our own planet. The John Webb Space Telescope enabling us to see back to the beginning of time. That we are starting to understand the surfaces of Saturn’s icy moons or the environments of exoplanets in distant galaxies. All of these demonstrate how the human spirit is far from earthbound.

Bach, the Universe and Everything brings you all these things alongside the music of JS Bach. In his 200 cantatas, in seeking to go beyond the frontier of the heavens to reach for the divine he also gifted us with one of the most amazing of human achievements.
