Here in New York, WQXR, the sister station of our co-producer WNYC is launching something they’re calling Bach 360 °.
It’s a proper Bach-a-thon – a ten-day Bach marathon festival that explores what Johann Sebastian’s music means to modern listeners. It will feature more than 200 hours of Bach over the span of 10 days. That’s 20 hours of Bach a day for more than a week.
Jeff Spurgeon, morning host of WQXR, explains how the prolific musician’s work will be distributed across the days and weeks. We’ll also hear your suggestions for the music you’d like to hear for hours and hours on end.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
