History & Mission: |
Bachfest to lure Bach lovers to Turkish capital.
Starting in 2014, the Turkish capital Ankara will host its own Bach Festival, part of a classical music festival held in locations throughout the world to celebrate the memory of the German composer J.S. Bach.
The Bachfest Ankara came about as the initiative of Bach specialists Sami Yenice, Bilge Küçükdoğan and Hasan Keleşoğlu. The event will feature the work of the great composer J.S. Bach in a series of events throughout the year. His pieces, among the finest examples of the Baroque style, will be performed by high-profile world musicians and performers. |
