The organizers announced that the series of events will reach the Hungarian diaspora in many cities around the world, beyond the Carpathian Basin, so Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions will be heard from Australia to America.

In addition to the most famous concert halls, from the Liszt Academy to the Royal Castle of Gödöllő, music schools, churches and open spaces will also host the festival's events. In addition to Kossuth, Liszt and Prima Primissima award-winning performers and members of prestigious orchestras, future talents and dedicated musicians from local communities will also participate in the programs - the information reads.

"Together with my fellow artists, we will do everything we can to make the uplifting, healing power emanating from the wonderful works of this musical giant accessible to everyone", the announcement quoted the founding director of the Bach for Everyone Festival, László Zalán Kovács, Artisjus and János Apáczai Csere award-winning tuba artist as saying.

The majority of events will be held around Bach's birthday, between March 16-31 - the main period of the festival - but it is worth keeping an eye on the additional programs until the end of Advent, the announcement highlighted. 

As part of the event series, not only public concerts will be held, but also concerts taken to hospitals to promote the spiritual healing of patients, they added.

The opening concert of the Bach for Everyone Festival will be held at the Liszt Academy on March 16, featuring pianists László Zalán Kovács and Mihály Boros, as well as Australian organist Peter Guy.

Among the festival's most significant concerts, it was highlighted that on March 22, the Hungarian Armed Forces Central Orchestra will perform at the Royal Castle in Gödöllő with the participation of the Choir of the Budapest Singing School.

The Cantores Ecclesiae Brass Ensemble will give a concert on March 29 at the Hungarian Music House in Budapest, and on June 8 at the Wawel Cathedral in Krakow.

All programs of the Bach for Everyone Festival are free to attend. According to their information, it is a tradition for the organizers to draw attention to the possibility of donating to a noble cause.

This year's beneficiary is the Merciful Samaritan Reformed Children's Home in the village of Nagydobrony in Transcarpathia.

The funds collected by the You Can Help! Support Foundation at the festival events and transferred directly to their bank accounts provide help to small and older children, they wrote.
