Out of the Depths is the first post-lockdown concert by Bachfest Malaysia, featuring two moving Bach cantatas, performed by the award-winning Malaysia Bach Festival Singers and Orchestra. Aside from the concert, world-renowned Bach scholar Prof. Dr. Michael Maul will be providing pre-concert lectures, and the concert tour is also the official book launch for Michael’s Chinese/English version of the Bach Pictorial Biography.  We find out more about this from Dr. David Chin, the Artistic Director of Bachfest Malaysia and a Senior Fellow at Bach-Archiv Leipzig, and Prof. Dr. Michael Maul, who is also the Artistic Director of Leipzig Bach Festival, and a Senior Scholar at Bach Archiv Leipzig. Both gentlemen share their love and appreciation of the music of seventeenth century German composer, Johann Sebastian Bach and why we should too.
