KAFFEEKANTATE

In the organizer's words:

Around 1734, coffee was viewed with suspicion by the rulers, who feared a coup by the rebels and introduced the coffee tax as a result. Liesgen Schlendrian also loves nothing more than drinking her coffee every day - a bad habit in the eyes of her conservative father. But Liesgen has no revolution in mind, rather permission to marry. But then it would have to be a man with whom she could share her passion ...

In his famous coffee cantata, the highlight of 18th-century Saxon coffee house music, Bach shows his hearty and humorous side and uses folk elements to create an invigorating chamber music work of art about a true passion!
