Resonances: Dialogues between Baroque and New Music
Resonances is a one-hour long concert, in which pieces by baroque composers are mixed with new compositions. In this way, a musical dialogue between past and present is created, both as the new compositions revolve around the baroque pieces, and as we play "old" and "new" sounds with "old instruments" - replicas from Baroque instruments.
Old and new sounds mix
Enjoy this unique concert in which old and new sounds mix, thus creating a link between past and present.
