Bach’s Chorales and Instrumentals

Marko Hatlak has been introducing Bach's masterpieces to the world of the accordion for many years. At the Winter Festival, he will join Bernarda and Marcos Fink and four renowned instrumentalists for an evening of Bach's vocal works in unique arrangements. The performers will be flutist Eva-Nina Kozmus, pianist Aleksandra Pavlovič, violinist Jelena Pejić and double bassist Stevan Jovanović, as well as the Mixed Choir of Glasbena matica Ljubljana. The dramaturgy of the concert follows Bach's works from the Lutheran Chorale and selected pieces from the St Matthew Passion to the Concerto for two harpsichords in C major, in which piano and accordion will be intertwined. The concert concludes with an aria from the Goldberg Variations on solo accordion, creating a holistic experience of Bach's timeless music that continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike.
