Bach in Space

Wiener Konzerthaus - Großer Saal, Wien

Distant galaxies, star nebulae, black holes - the universe closer than ever! On a huge screen, razor-sharp NASA images shine in colors otherwise only seen in science fiction films. Mona Asuka, one of the outstanding pianists of her generation, plays the music of Johann Sebastian Bach live - sometimes powerful, sometimes delicate, always surprising. 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 very moment. The first performances in Munich have already shown how exciting the concept is: "An unearthly Bach" wrote the Münchner Merkur. And the "Kultur in München" portal reported: "The people of Munich are visibly captivated during the performance - by the vastness and depth of the crystal-clear, high-resolution images, by the finely curated selection of Bach's repertoire, by the precise realization."

In April 2026, Bach in Space will come to the Wiener Konzerthaus for the first time, with highlights such as excerpts from the "Well-Tempered Clavier", the "Goldberg Variations" and the "Italian Concerto" on the program. Great classics - experienced anew, in a setting that guarantees goosebumps.

"Bach in Space" is more than just classical music: an experience for all those who want to experience music and the cosmos in a new dimension.
