Baltic Baroque orchestra & Erik Bosgraaf
🇱🇻 Baltic Baroque Orchestra will perform at the London International Festival of Early Music (LIFEM)!
On 8 November at the Collegium Musicum Riga concert hall, audiences will have a rare opportunity to witness an international concert project taking shape - an open rehearsal by Baltic Baroque Orchestra with world-renowned recorder player Erik Bosgraaf (the Netherlands).
The very next week after this rehearsal, the orchestra will travel to London to perform at one of the world's most important early music festivals - the London International Festival of Early Music (LIFEM).
During the open rehearsal, audiences will be able to witness the concert programme taking shape and hear how the musicians, together with artistic director Māris Kupčs and soloist and conductor Erik Bosgraaf, refine the nuances of interpretation and prepare for an international concert tour.
The programme will feature Johann Sebastian Bach's four orchestral suites (Ouvertures):
🎼 Suite No. 1 in C Major, BWV 1066
🎼 Suite No. 2 in B Minor, BWV 1067
🎼 Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068
🎼 Suite No. 4 in D Major, BWV 1069
This evening will also be special because it takes place the day before the 60th birthday of Baltic Baroque Orchestra's artistic director Māris Kupčs, marking a symbolic milestone on the way to a major international event.
An open rehearsal is not a concert in the traditional sense - it is an opportunity to see classical music in the making, witness the creative process and experience the daily work of professional musicians from an entirely different perspective.
Duration: up to 2 hours
Please note that the rehearsal proceedings and the order of the repertoire may change according to artistic needs.
