Throughout history, music has provided comfort in countless and diverse ways during times of grief and loss. Far Beyond the Skies brings together two venerable traditions, on the one hand two extraordinary works from the German Lutheran tradition which meditate on the release of death and the joys that await, and on the other hand funeral music from the Gospel tradition and where and how these two worlds intersect.

What hardly anyone knows: nowhere else (outside Argentina) is as much tango played and danced as in Finland, nowhere else in the world is so much coffee and milk drunk, and what was previously only known to the initiated: one of the best baroque orchestras comes from Helsinki! In 1989, news of the historically-informed performance practice also reached Finland; young professional musicians founded an ensemble that was called the ‘Sixth Floor Orchestra’ for 20 years, named after the practice room (without a lift!). Initially they gave guest performances in neighbouring Scandinavia, but the unconventional group soon made a name for itself in Canada and China with excellent reviews. They have brought Bach, Vivaldi and Telemann with them to the concert in Frankfurt, where the overture, concerto and suite will give them ample opportunity to demonstrate how double dotting, ornamentation and historically informed bowing is done in Finland. The connection with water and tides is certainly felt more intensely on the Nordic coasts, which is why Telemann's orchestral suite ‘Hamburger Ebb’ und Fluth’ from 1732 is a fitting homage to the all-connecting ocean. (Frankfurter Bachkonzerte e. V.)

Baroque music is often presented as grand, serious and a little... cautious. However, the ensemble "Dar vieni" thinks differently. They invite you to a concert in which Baroque is freed from museum frames - it is alive, pulsating. For the ensemble, Baroque is not only counterpoints and ornaments. It is an era in which emotions are no less than today, you just need to blow the dust off it. The ensemble wants to take this music in your hands, move it, feel how it breathes. It wants the listener to be more than just an observer - to get involved, feel the rhythm, emotion, and maybe even forget that they are sitting in a concert hall. Because Baroque music was not written for museums, but for people. It was intended to celebrate, mourn, express passion and inner vibrations - and it still can. You just need to let it live.

Leipzig’s got talent: in 1723 Bach competed for one of Germany’s top musical jobs. Today, Laurence Cummings and Academy of Ancient Music reveal exactly what he was up against.

The Chosen One

Milton Court Concert Hall

Genius loves company, but when a plum job is up for grabs the gloves come off. After Bach got the gig in Leipzig in 1723, his disappointed employers made it very clear that he wasn’t even their second choice. So who came first – and, for that matter, second? You’d expect them to be good.

The Vienna Academy Orchestra is one of Austria's most important orchestras. This venerable orchestra, with its founder Martin Haselböck, is celebrated worldwide as one of the finest orchestras for period music. From Vienna, where they present a concert series in the legendary Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, they carry the original sounds out into the world – to destinations such as New York, Chicago, Madrid, Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, and Santiago de Chile.

Enjoy a festive concert featuring works by the Baroque master Georg Philipp Telemann. The centerpiece is the dramma per musica "Ich sonst beglücktes Land" (I, otherwise blessed land), an occasional piece from 1711, which was only recently rediscovered and has now been researched and published for the first time by students at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. The program also includes works from the same period of the composer's life at the beginning of the 18th century: the colorful Overture Suite in D major with its magnificent trumpet sounds, the virtuosic Concerto in D major for two violins, and the solemn Magnificat in C major. Discover these lesser-known works by Telemann with the Handel Festival Orchestra!

Formed in Paris in 2015, Le Consort is an early music ensemble dedicated to the quintessential chamber music genre that reigned supreme in the Baroque era: the trio sonata. Made up of two violins, a cello and a harpsichord, the ensemble’s diverse repertoire includes trio sonatas from Italy, France, Germany and England, which represent the essence of Baroque chamber music., Le Consort’s Music in the Park Series program highlights the works of well-known composers who helped define the genre, such as J.S Bach, Georg Phillipe Telemann and Francesco Geminiani, as well as those whose works remain unknown and often unpublished, such as Giorgio Gentili, Nicola Porpora, and Michel-Pignolet de Montéclair.

And there was light: By the end of the 16th century at the latest, affect had become an indispensable component of music. Stylus luxurians – "luminous style" – is what music theorist and composer Christoph Bernhard calls this creative device, which was also prevalent in the Baroque period and is characterized by theatricality and intense emotional expression. The Ensemble Astrum researches, experiments, and creates. In their program "And there was light ," the trio of artists led by award-winning Salzburg recorder player Felix Gutschi and Dutch soprano Noëlle Drost dedicate themselves to the stylus luxurians and take the audience on an emotionally profound journey through the Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical periods.

Since 2010, chamber music ensembles of the Staatskapelle have been performing at the Bode Museum, a jewel of Berlin's museum landscape. Matinee concerts lasting just over an hour in the Gobelin Hall, with diverse programs that include music from the Baroque and Classical periods as well as works from the Romantic and Modern periods, can easily lead into further hours in the museum—for example, with a guided tour of the exhibition and the "Artwork of the Day," a private tour, or a culinary finale in the stylish museum café.

Freshly sworn in as Leipzig's Thomaskontor, Johann Sebastian Bach was full of energy in 1723, composing, among other works, the "Magnificat," a eulogy cantata for the Advent season for his new choir. Shortly after the annunciation by the angel Gabriel, Mary tells her cousin the good news of her pregnancy with the Savior. This message sounds especially joyful when Vox Luminis, an outstanding early music ensemble, is on stage.

The Baroque era opened the door for the violin to emerge as a defining voice in music. This program features an all-star cast of CMS violinists performing thrilling solo roles in Baroque concertos, including Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, one of the earliest examples of program music. Linked to sonnets possibly written by Vivaldi himself, the works depict the seasons through musical suggestions of babbling brooks, thunder and lightning, blasts of winter wind, and birdsong.

We are absolutely delighted to perform for you the world première of a new composition by Dominic McGonigal — ‘Sunset at Sea’. Dominic’s work has been described as having “great textures and a perfect sense of spacing and pacing” and his ‘Ave Maris Stella Takes Flight’ recently won the Palimpsest Competition at Canterbury Cathedral.

After training as a chorister, Dominic read music at King’s College, Cambridge where he sang bass in King’s Chapel Choir. He found his voice as a composer with his 'Missa Et Incarnatus Est', a large work for 8-part choir, soloists and small orchestra. These days he combines a career in the music business with performing and conducting, including appointments as musical director of COMA Voices, Stoneleigh Choral Society, the Church of St Anselm & St Cecilia in Holborn, Opera Spezzata, EJMS Big Band and St Giles Consort …. and as for this piece, you’ll just have to come and hear it for yourself.

A Baroque Concert by the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt
Why is the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt Germany's most successful crossover orchestra? Because of its musicians, who enjoy everything, who are always open-minded, and who shy away from nothing – not even Baroque music! If you look closely,
you'll discover the word "rock" in the word "baroque" – thus dusting off the image of this era with the diversity of Baroque art music: Italy's Dario Castello, France's Jean-Marie Leclair, and the two Germans Georg Friedrich Handel and Georg Philipp Telemann demonstrate with
their works what 17th and 18th century Europe had to offer in terms of variety and diverse musical styles. The evening is given an additional fresh splash of color by two dreamy arias that give the program its title.

Solo violin works continue Augustin Hadelich’s residency this season, culminating in J.S. Bach’s D minor Partita with the expressively and technically transcendent Chaconne — considered the “Everest” of violin performance. The Partita is balanced by music of Bach’s contemporary Georg Philipp Telemann, selections from Nicolò Paganini’s brilliant Caprices, and a Bach-inspired solo sonata from 1923 by the Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, the Sonata No. 5, from 1923. American composer Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s 1979 Blue/s Forms is a work championed by Hadelich in recital.

In our tumultuous modern era, the pleasures of German Baroque music offer a refined, soothing balm. Ivars Taurins conducts a program that includes Handel’s bright-hued Music for the Royal Fireworks, written for King George II to celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession, as well as his stately Organ Concerto, composed for performances at Covent Garden. Telemann’s Wassermusik pays tribute to Hamburg and its river, the Elbe. Telemann portrays mythological figures like tritons and naiads before turning to the city’s “merry boat-people.” The Sinfonia in G Minor by Hasse, best known for his role in developing opera seria, stirs up a whirlwind with energetic strings.

Composition during the "Baroque" period was characterized by enormous artistic diversity, virtuoso ornamentation, and deep emotional spirituality – in hardly any region and era is this more evident than in Thuringia in the 17th and 18th centuries, which boasted a cornucopia of musical excellence. Thuringian Baroque music developed in a landscape rich in cultural influences, ecclesiastical power, and a strong bourgeois spirit. The "small states" provided the ideal stage for musical exchange: the ducal courts and royal residences, above all Gotha, Eisenach, and Weimar, were in lively competition with one another; they pushed their court composers to ever greater heights and demanded avant-garde excellence from them.

On the penultimate day of summer – a matinee under the sign of the sun: with works by Telemann, Haydn, and Wolf, the program explores the light in its diverse musical refractions. As an expression of courtly splendor under the "Sun King" Louis XIV, the overture suite shone far beyond France's borders. The genre also became extremely popular in Germany, not least thanks to the work of Georg Philipp Telemann. His overture suite "La Bizarre" combines French and Italian stylistic elements in an original way. From baroque radiance to classical transparency: two string quartets from Haydn's so-called "Sun Quartets," Op. 20, form a framework. The stormy G minor quartet forms a charming contrast to the gallantly serene A major quartet, which surprises with an artfully crafted final fugue.

Inspired by the Italian comic intermezzi, Pimpinone approaches social class and seduction with stylish slapstick and evocative humanity as the narcissistic Pimpinone is stung by the beauty and barbs of his charming chambermaid, Vespetta. The cantata Ino is a true hidden gem with a thrilling story drawn from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

Some contemporaries never meet, others remain connected for life: For example, George Frideric Handel and George Philipp Telemann first met in Halle at the beginning of the 18th century and deepened their friendship through years of correspondence. Telemann was not only a passionate letter writer, but also learned to love gardening in his adopted home of Hamburg. From London, Handel supplied the amateur gardener with rare flower bulbs. In general, the friendship blossomed magnificently: there are 117 musical ideas that Handel adopted or parodied from Telemann. The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra devotes itself to some examples of these, supplementing it with the third great composer of the time, Johann Sebastian Bach. Although Bach and Telemann did not exchange botanical gifts, they were just as close on a familial and musical level.

Sibelius's violin concerto is now the most performed of all violin concertos from the 20th century. Yet its musical language belongs to the late 19th century, and the music is warm and lyrical, dramatic and melancholic. Sibelius, himself a violinist, possibly wrote the concerto he himself would have wanted to play – albeit on a technical level far beyond his own. In this way, the violin concerto can be seen as a farewell to the youthful dreams of a career as a violin virtuoso. It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.
