JSB Ensemble & Meisterkurse Gesang
For the Bachwoche Stuttgart, which has been a success for decades and will be expanded in many ways from March 2025 as the Internationales Bachfest Stuttgart, the Bachakademie, with its academy director Hans-Christoph Rademann, puts together an international ensemble of soloists, a choir and an orchestra every year: the Young Stuttgart Bach Ensemble (JSB Ensemble). The founding of the ensemble in 2011 was an important step in the consistent further development of a basic idea of the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart and its founder Helmuth Rilling: to provide highly talented young people from all over the world with a platform in Stuttgart after an intensive period of study. The musicians in the ensemble, which always includes more than 20 nations, grow together under the guidance of experienced teachers to form a unique orchestra that experiences a refreshing liaison with the voices of the masterclasses in singing: Bach reimagined!
What makes the Stuttgart-based ensemble special compared to other projects worldwide is the formation of a complete vocal-instrumental ensemble, whose knowledge and skills are based on the latest performance practice and the wealth of experience of the lecturers, who are particularly rooted in this. The upcoming study week with the JSB Ensemble in March 2025 will lead directly into the International Bachfest Stuttgart Stuttgart 2025, in which the JSB Ensemble will play an important part and perform together with the Gaechinger Cantorey in the finale.
