The Bach family is the most prolific family of musicians in history, with the most famous personality of all being Johann Sebastian Bach, undisputed genius with universal recognition. Twelve singers from the ensemble Les Métaboles join the twelve string musicians of the Orchester de Normandie on stage to form twelve "voice-instrument pairs". They give a tribute to Bach's composers who followed him, such as Mendelssohn and Nystedt.
