Man is naturally inclined to seek the divine, and the Bible gives us a clear pointer: Jesus is the link. In this Bach Academy everything revolves around the relationship between heaven and earth, between the believers and their Saviour, at Ascension and Pentecost: with cantatas, concerti and cinematographic creations; with stars to worship and talent to discover; and of course with Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe.

In a society that is constantly rushing forward, we stroll and stop. Follow your intuition and forget the clock: experience ‘time’ as ‘duration’, get maximum enjoyment from minimal resources, stride through the city resolutely but slowly and bring yourself into a trance through the repetition of mystical Moroccan Sufi music or Simeon ten Holt’s Canto ostinato. SLOW(36h) massages the senses and - who knows – may even lead to spiritual experiences.
