Spotlight on the Accompanists! They usually work behind the scenes: They accompany musical and stage rehearsals (mostly) from the piano, support singers as they learn their parts, and always keep an eye on the musical balance during orchestra rehearsals. At the Theaterfest, the accompanists of the Badisches Staatstheater take center stage themselves. They offer insights into their multifaceted work, present the fascinating world of keyboard instruments—from the grand piano to the harpsichord and fortepiano, all the way to the organ, harmonium, and celesta—and perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto for Four Harpsichords in A minor, BWV 1065, together .
