On this evening, music from different eras enters into dialogue, and each work reveals a new facet of musical art.
The programme features masterpieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and Alfred Schnittke. Centuries separate the two composers, yet they are united by the depth of musical thought and a unique artistic language.
Bach's concertos for one and two violins and orchestra offer the refined beauty of Baroque music, the virtuosity of the soloists and harmonious sound. A special highlight of the evening is Alfred Schnittke's «Concerto Grosso No. 1», a work in which Baroque traditions take on a contemporary sound, while contrasts and unexpected musical solutions create a captivating atmosphere.
