The Musiikkitalo organ has lived up to all expectations and proven capable of a remarkably wide range of musical styles. Nevertheless, it has not yet undergone a thorough test with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The time has come! The large concert hall will be filled with Bach’s organ music over the course of eight concerts. The vast majority of Bach’s organ works is featured as the teachers of the Sibelius Academy dive into the depths of organ music. Every concert (approx. 55 minutes) has a programme of its own, and the entire series is accessible with one ticket.
