Info for A Musical Offering

Bach’s Musical Offering, one of the most fascinating works in music history, still raises questions even after countless interpretations and performances. Composed three years before his death, it embodies everything that makes Bach so captivating: magnificent music that is consummate in all parameters, hidden messages, romantic-transfigured history, enigmatic masterpieces, numerology ... and most often it is met by nebulous, apprehensive respect.

Ensemble Diderot attempts an entirely new way of liberating the work from entrenched traditions. Inspired by their collaboration with video artist Pierre Nouvel and stage designer Damien Caille-Perret, the five musicians provide new insights into the riddle canons that surround the pinnacle of the trio sonata genre with this project to allow a multi-sensorial experience and complete immersion in the work.
