String music touches the heart – not least because this was one of the reasons for founding the Kronberg Academy. When Johann Sebastian Bach's comforting music blends with the warm, soothing sound of a solo violin, the result is an ideal symbiosis. Bach's Violin Concerto in A minor features the charismatic young soloist Geneva Lewis, accompanied by Kremerata Baltica, who will then delight the audience with a string symphony by Bach fan Mendelssohn.
