The last work of Johann Sebastian Bach the Art of Fugue is the title of a new production by the Académia 1750. The subtitle, Canon and Fugue in 18th century instrumental music in Germany and Italy makes clear the intentions behind this concert —a musical journey- taking in compositions from both countries that have the form of a canon or a fugue.
