In contrast to her famous husband, we know next to nothing about Johann Sebastian Bach's first wife Maria Barbara Bach apart from the stages of her life. Max Volbers now wants to change that. For the Baroque Days, he is designing a programme based around the family connections of Maria Barbara and the rest of the Bach family, drawing threads from events to compositions and thus creating the appearance of a woman who possibly comes very close to the actual Maria Barbara. Together with Michael Schade and his musical partner Sebastian Wienand, he will fill the sacred space with music in the atmospheric ambience of the collegiate church at night. The ‘Melker Marienlied’, one of the treasures of the abbey library from the 12th century, is sure to be a special highlight, newly set to music by Johannes Schachtner and premiered by Michael Schade.
