We're very excited to be a part of the award-winning documentary Living Bach! Directed by the veteran German filmmaker Anna Schmidt, the documentary focuses on how the music of J.S. Bach has impacted on and inspired the lives of singers and instrumentalists from all around the world. The documentary was released in 2023 and has very recently won Best Feature Film Documentary at the 10th Madrid Film Festival.

​

Journeying to South Africa, Japan, Paraguay, Australia, the US, and Europe, amongst others, the documentary features several representatives from Malaysia, including Lin and Wicked Music People and members of Bachfest Malaysia, led by Prof Dr David Chin. The focal point of the documentary involved musicians from around the world meeting in Leipzig for the first time in 2022 and performing as part of the global Bachfest Leipzig to a completely full house at the Thomaskirche Leipzig in a concert under the direction of the legendary Ton Koopman.

​

We are privileged to have secured rights to screen Living Bach in Malaysia and will be doing so at Pentas 2, KLPac, on 30 May. The screening will be preceded by a live recital involving members of Wicked Music People and Bachfest Malaysia and proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to BachFest Malaysia for its performance tour of Arnstadt, Eisenach, and Thomaskirche Leipzig this June as part of this year's Bachfest Leipzig.
