Leipzig, Germany, 1722, where Johann Kuhnau, revered organist of the Thomaskirche, suddenly dies, leaving his post vacant

The town council invites musicians from across to audition for the coveted position, among them young Johann Sebastian Bach

In an age where musicians depend on patronage from the nobility or the church to pursue their craft, the post at a prominent church in a cultured city is a near guarantee of fame and fortune - which is why some of the candidates are willing to resort to any lengths to secure it

Bach at Leipzig is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery, blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Enlightenment questions about humanity, God, and art
