The Countertenor - Bach's Holy Spirit
 

Bach Akademie Australia is thrilled to launch its 2025 season with The Countertenor – Bach’s Holy Spirit, featuring world-renowned Grammy-nominated countertenor Reginald Mobley. This highly anticipated concert marks the ensemble’s first national tour, with performances from April 4th to 25th, in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Regional NSW. Bringing to life the transcendent beauty of J.S. Bach’s music, the tour will showcase Mobley’s extraordinary artistry alongside Australia’s premier Baroque musicians.

Reginald Mobley, celebrated for his luminous tone and expressive depth, has captivated audiences worldwide with his performances spanning from Bach’s masterpieces to contemporary works. His deep connection to Baroque repertoire and impeccable vocal technique makes him an ideal collaborator for Bach Akademie Australia’s dedication to authentic and inspiring performances.

The program will feature works by J.S Bach, J.C. Bach and Vivaldi. According to theological tradition in Lutheran Germany, the alto voice was the very symbol of the Holy Ghost. Bach felt this deeply, reserving the alto voice for the most moving and special of arias in his passions and cantatas. This concert will highlight the rich emotional depth and spiritual resonance of these works, bringing together the exquisite expressiveness of Mobley’s voice with the vibrant and historically informed playing of Bach Akademie Australia.
