Churches are gradually emptying, yet everyone still needs moments of contemplation. Reflect with Bach is just such a moment. For each edition, the unconventional Flemish poet Maud Vanhauwaert, presenter Lex Bohlmeijer and the Netherlands Bach Society are joined by a different writer and thinker, to explore the universal themes of life and offer tranquillity through the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Today’s theme is: crisis. With: Beatrice de Graaf.
In this Reflect with Bach, Professor of History of International Relations Beatrice de Graaf reflects on the theme of crisis. Her story is interwoven with music by Bach, led by gambist and core member of the Bach Society Mieneke van der Velden.
Beatrice de Graaf is a historian and professor at Utrecht University. She researches the history of terrorism, war and violence. She makes regular appearances as a terrorism expert and her publications include ‘Tegen de terreur’ (Fighting Terror) and ‘Radicale verlossing’ (Radical Salvation). In 2018, she was awarded the highest Dutch academic honour, the Stevin Prize, for her work.
This concert is part of the series Reflect with Bach.
Please note: the spoken language of this series is Dutch.
