The Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie is a renowned classical music group that specializes in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. The ensemble was founded in 1997 by its current artistic director, Joshard Daus, and has since become one of the most respected and sought-after Bach ensembles in the world. The birth of the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie can be traced back to the EuropaChorAkademie, a choir founded in 1985 by Daus. The choir quickly gained a reputation for its high level of musicianship and its commitment to performing a wide range of choral works. However, Daus soon realized that there was a gap in the market for a professional Bach ensemble that could perform the composer's works with the same level of precision and passion as the great orchestras of the world. With this in mind, Daus founded the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie in 1997. The ensemble was made up of some of the finest musicians from the EuropaChorAkademie, as well as other top-class instrumentalists from around the world. From the outset, the ensemble's goal was to perform Bach's works with a level of authenticity and passion that would do justice to the composer's genius. The Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie quickly gained a reputation for its outstanding performances of Bach's works. The ensemble's first major performance was in 1998, when it performed Bach's St. John Passion in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, where Bach himself had worked as a cantor. The performance was a huge success, and the ensemble was praised for its precision, passion, and authenticity. Since then, the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie has gone on to perform at some of the world's most prestigious concert halls and festivals. The ensemble has performed at the Salzburg Festival, the Bachfest Leipzig, the Rheingau Musik Festival, and the Edinburgh International Festival, among others. The ensemble has also collaborated with some of the world's leading conductors, including Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Philippe Herreweghe, and Ton Koopman. One of the highlights of the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie's career was its performance of Bach's Mass in B Minor at the Salzburg Festival in 2000. The performance was conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner and featured some of the world's leading soloists, including Magdalena Kožená and Mark Padmore. The performance was widely praised for its precision, passion, and authenticity, and cemented the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie's reputation as one of the world's leading Bach ensembles. The Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie has also won numerous awards and accolades for its performances. In 2002, the ensemble was awarded the Echo Klassik award for its recording of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. The ensemble has also been praised by critics for its recordings of Bach's cantatas, which have been described as "exemplary" and "definitive." Despite its success, the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie remains committed to its original goal of performing Bach's works with a level of authenticity and passion that does justice to the composer's genius. The ensemble continues to tour extensively, performing at some of the world's leading concert halls and festivals, and collaborating with some of the world's leading conductors and soloists. In conclusion, the Bach-Ensemble der EuropaChorAkademie is a world-renowned classical music group that specializes in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach.
