Programme

Overview

Mark the 80th birthday of a pioneering conductor and harpsichordist who brought historically informed performance into the concert hall. His period-instrument ensemble reunites for an evening of masterful Baroque repertoire, culminating in the triumphant trumpets and drums of Bach’s Third Orchestral Suite. Celebrate a true innovator in the art of early music.Step into an evening of historical resonance as a distinguished harpsichordist and conductor—whose visionary leadership propelled historically informed performance into the mainstream—is celebrated on his 80th birthday. The period-instrument ensemble he founded reunites on stage, wielding Baroque violins, recorders, harpsichords, natural trumpets, and percussion to evoke the rich textures of 17th- and 18th-century repertoire. From intimate solo passages to full orchestral splendor, the program weaves scholarly insight with heartfelt homage, building to the resounding jubilation of JS Bach’s Third Orchestral Suite, where radiant trumpets and spirited drums bring the festivities to a triumphant close.
