About
Bach in the Sky with Diamonds sobe ao palco a 18 de outubro de 2026, Jacqueline du Pré Music Building (St Hilda's College, em Oxford.
Bach in the Sky with Diamonds This concert brings together the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, iconic Beatles melodies, and pieces by jazz legends Bill Evans and Hiromi Uehara. Masterminded by distinguished pianist and composer Alexandra Papastefanou, these ingenious arrangements also feature custom contributions from acclaimed pianist, composer and writer Jed Distler, drawing on his deep roots in contemporary music and jazz. Each work frames J.S. Bach at either its opening or its conclusion, allowing the great Cantor’s music to coexist, overlap, and evolve alongside modern themes through variations, contrapuntal treatment or free improvisation. The result is a harmonious polyphony of styles combining three centuries of music into a single, timeless musical experience that showcases the eternal adaptability of Bach's genius.
