The winter concert on the first Sunday of Advent invites you to gather your thoughts. In this quiet season, music unfolds that leads inward – clear, expressive and full of subtle nuances. From Galuppi and Wassenaer's elegant concertos to Vivaldi's passionate cello concerto and C.P.E. Bach's expressive soundscapes. Molter's ‘Concerto pastorale’ rounds off the programme with a festive, wintery pastoral splendour. The result is a lively panorama of the Baroque and the Age of Sensibility.
