Bacchanalia commemorates the 250th anniversary of the death of the great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. For the composer, Bach has been always the best reference of the complete musician: a sublime technique, always in service of the most sincere expression that comes from the bottom of the artist’s soul. In this sense, Bacchanalia is a heartfelt and respectful homage from a young composer to one of the greatest glories in the history of music.
