This memorial service is dedicated to the memory of our founder and long-time director Helmuth Rilling. His artistic legacy is not just the sum of thousands of concerts and hundreds of CD recordings. He influenced generations of young musicians all over the world. For many of them, it was their first encounter with Bach, often having an initial impact on their own artistic careers. Helmuth Rilling always remained loyal to Stuttgart, the main site of his work. Without him, the Stuttgart International Bach Academy would not exist - it owes him an infinite amount.
