Tradition, diversity, modernity. These three words describe best this year's instalment of the Bach Days. We can immerse ourselves in the aesthetic and spirituality of past centuries, such as the universe painstakingly created by artists specialising in historical performances, but also meet the contemporary through some jazz. Organised by the Academy of Music in Kraków, the Bach Days are an invitation to discover German Baroque.
