The Silence Before Bach 2008

In this enigmatic musical odyssey, the boundaries between reality and artistry blur as a filmmaker weaves together narrative vignettes and documentary sequences to explore the transformative power of music. From subway car jam sessions to Leipzig city tours dressed in Baroque finery, and even a butcher's unexpected connection to Mendelssohn's "St. Matthew Passion", this film is a witty, poignant, and refreshing celebration of art's ability to surprise and inspire.
