Although Bach Days are mainly focused on Johann Sebastian (the event marks his birthday on 21 March), they are also a timely reminder that his sons were also acclaimed musicians. The opening concert resounds with music by Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian; the ninth and eleventh sons were also known as the Bückeburg Bach and the London Bach, respectively. The programme of the festival includes also works by other notable composers of the Baroque era.
The concerts will be presented by the students and lecturers of the K. Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków and invited guests.
