This special version includes some of the most unique and dramatic arias which Bach has ever composed.

Audience members will be invited to participate in selected chorales during the performance. Each ticket holder will also have complimentary admission to the rare Bach manuscripts exhibition, and special lectures presented by Bishop Rev. Thomas Low, Prof. Dr. Manuel Bärwald, and Dr. David Chin. Exact schedule to be found on: www.bachfestmalaysia.com
