Baroque Brilliance in Amberg: Bach's Orchestral Suites with Akamus

An evening for refined senses and goosebumps: The Academy for Ancient Music Berlin brings Johann Sebastian Bach's four orchestral suites to the Amberg City Theater. Historical instruments, sleek Baroque sound, and precise conducting by concertmaster Georg Kallweit promise a concert experience that combines acoustics, light, and emotion into a coherent whole.

Sound Colors that Shine

From the majestic overture to the dance-like suite, Bach unfolds a palette of rhythm, breath, and color. Akamus shapes this music with sharpened articulation, vibrant orchestration, and buoyant synchronization. The famous Badinerie and the heartfelt Air gain special transparency and warmth with period instruments – Baroque music that touches the heart directly.

Historically Informed – Emotionally Immediate

As one of Europe's leading original sound orchestras, Akamus combines technical excellence with scenic stage performance. The interplay between Concertino and Tutti, the expressive phrasing, and the finely attuned continuo create a live atmosphere that fills the hall with tension and carries the audience's mood.

Bach's French Spirit Meets Italian Brilliance

The suites combine courtly dance movements in the French style with Italian virtuosity. Akamus boldly and colorfully reveals this duality: pointed rhythms, breathing tempos, brilliant woodwinds, radiant trumpets – Baroque splendor without a burden of pathos.

Voices of the Fans

The reactions online are clear: Akamus enchants its fans. On Instagram, one fan raves: 'Can't wait to experience Akamus live – pure energy on historical instruments!' On Facebook, a visitor writes: 'The Air with Akamus remains unforgettable – pure goosebumps!'
