In November of this year, venues in London and Kent will play host to BACHFEST UK; an annual homage to the genius of composer J. S. Bach. The series was founded in 1990 by Margaret Steinitz and was originally called the London Bach Festival. The event aims to enhance and develop the work of the late Dr Paul Steinitz who in 1946 originated the London Bach Society. Each year the series selects a theme and this year it is set by the fascinating question: ‘J S Bach and Martin Luther: Obedient Servants or Enlightened Masters?’ It is widely know that these men, although separated by almost two centuries, both attended the same school in Eisenach. Bachfest explains the theme in their publicity information:
