Alone with J.S. Bach

The History Listen

2021

German composer, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was in kinship care for 5 years after being orphaned at age 10. He and his older brother, Jacob, were sent to live with their older brother who had recently married.

In this podcast, 6 violinists talk about their experience with Bach's music.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
