In the family concert, SPARK brings together three completely different B's: Johann Sebastian Bach as the forefather of classical art music, Luciano Berio as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century and the Beatles as titans of pop music. On the journey through these three different sound worlds there is something new to discover - such as the crazy playing techniques that Luciano Berio came up with for the instruments. And familiar and well-known things can be experienced in a new way with SPARK when they whirl across the stage in their version of Bach's famous Badinerie or add their own motifs and melodies to a prelude by Bach's contemporary Christoph Graupner. The five musicians move between eras and genres with great virtuosity and a lot of joy in playing. In doing so, they constantly open up new sounds and scenery for themselves and their audience, expand, explain, contrast and create a lively dialogue between baroque and modern. SPARK unashamedly and naturally draws on all genres, breaks unnecessary boundaries and celebrates one thing above all with passionate devotion: good music, namely Bach – Berio – Beatles .
