Founded 40 years ago, Concerto Köln is one of the outstanding protagonists of early music. It's fortunate that the journey to Duisburg is not far – and that the Duisburg Philharmonic also includes seasoned experts in musically informed performance practice. This creates ideal conditions for an extraordinary encounter in a concert that brings together well-known and lesser-known masterpieces by composers of the 17th and 18th centuries. Examples such as those of the Italian Antonio Vivaldi, the German George Frideric Handel, the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Rameau, the Bohemian Jan Dismas Zelenka, and the Englishman Henry Purcell demonstrate that all of Europe was shaken by the tremendous musical developments of this period. Some of these masters will perform "vocal specialties" – arias from operas or sacred works – or, like the piano pioneer Domenico Scarlatti, excerpts from their instrumental works. The name of countertenor Valer Sabadus, who is another guest from Cologne in Duisburg, shines as brilliantly as his voice.

Wednesday Concert Music by Haydn, Heinichen and Brescianello

Hans Egedes Kirke

"The most perfect in terms of the whole is the opera orchestra of the Polish king in Dresden" - When the arts were in full bloom at the court of Augustus the Strong and the celebration of the century was approaching with the wedding of his only legitimate son, Frederick Augustus, the best virtuosos were hired from all over Europe. For this event and the "orchestra di Dresda", the great composers of the time outdid each other with new works that still fascinate today.

Start the LSO season off right with a pre-Oktoberfest evening of J.S. Bach and friends, in an atmosphere that evokes the coffee-house atmosphere of Bach's own chamber-music evenings back in the day!  Two of his all-time favorite Brandenburg Concertos -- with two of our own LSO artists -- and from our own time, an Aaron Copland rarity -- think of "Appalachian Spring", all grown up -- all in the classy-casual atmosphere of the Cappella Performing Arts Center.  And as old Johann Sebastian would surely not object to your having a beverage.......we start off with a sweet Sinfonia by his colleague Heinichen!  A perfect and convivial way to welcome in a new Symphony season, as we spotlight many of our finest musicians!  Cabaret seating available!
