In this concert, the Bremen Baroque Orchestra presents a particularly exciting chapter in music history, namely music by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, who came from Bohemia, and his contemporaries. North of the Alps, the violin virtuoso was largely responsible for the further development of playing technique on the violin and also for the evolution of various musical genres such as the solo and trio sonata; It’s time to take a closer look at this baroque genius. Based on his impressive chamber music collection “Harmonia Artificiosa Ariosa”, which Biber published in 1696, the orchestra places his music in the context of various orchestral and solo compositions from the nations around the Alps. Both the tradition of the great Johann Schmelzer and the influences of the Roman master Arcangelo Corelli play an important role in this concert and show the masterly art of composition at the end of the 17th century, in […]

The Bremer Barockorchester presents a program based on the work Il Maestro di Capella by Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801), which focuses entirely on the caprices and dramatic movement of the music from the second half of the 18th century. The middle of this concert showcases an intermezzo with a full orchestra and a singer. The audience experiences an orchestral rehearsal in which a conductor tries to make the individual groups of instruments sound according to his wishes. The result doesn’t always seem to satisfy him. The Neapolitan Cimarosa uses this attempt of a rehearsal as an extremely entertaining musical encounter, which at the same time could be viewed as a finely crafted and funny orchestral performance. In addition to this staged Italian work, music by C. W. Gluck, one of the most famous opera composers of his time, is performed, as well as a rediscovery that is probably less known to […]
The year 2021 and the seventh season of the concert series Baroque & umzu begins with the question: What actually is Baroque? The title of the program “Typisch Barock!?” plays with the many possible answers to this question and the subconscious expectations. The Bremer Barockorchester answers: diversity and emotion. The focus of the February concert is on the Recorder and the Viola da Gamba, two genuine baroque instruments that are completely absent from the modern orchestra. The warm sound no longer suited the sound conceptions of the following era, in which the assertiveness of the instruments in the growing symphony orchestra became more and more important. In the Baroque era, however, these two instruments were favorites of many composers, professional musicians and the amateurs at home. For example, G.P. Telemann masterfully uses them in his Concerto for Recorder and Viola da Gamba in A minor. What is astonishing about this […]
We are finally back on stage! In the fourth concert of 2020, the conditions have changed (the concert will take place without a break and the program will be slightly shortened), but we are very pleased that, even under the difficult conditions and on a small scale, we will be allowed to play for you all again. We look forward to working with Alfredo Bernardini, one of the most well-known international baroque oboists of our time, who will take on the musical direction of this project. Under the title “Hohes Holz” (after the French name of the instrument “Haut-bois”, a woodwind instrument that sounds in the high register) we go on a journey of discovery into the partially still unknown spheres of virtuoso baroque oboe music. Program: Francesco Maria Veracini (1690-1768) Overture No. 1 in B flat major Giovanni Benedetto Platti (1697-1763) Concerto for Oboe in G minor Evaristo Dall’Abaco […]
For the first time, the renowned recorder player Dorothee Oberlinger is a guest with the Bremer Barockorchester. The 2020 Concert Series “Barock & Umzu” opens with an unusual program that includes both late baroque music, such as the famous flute concert “La Notte” by Antonio Vivaldi, and works by G.Ph. Telemann, as well as music from the 16th Century. Together, the soloist and ensemble explore the world of baroque flute music presenting works from all over Europe that seem to continually surpass each other in virtuosity, but also skillfully showcase the cantabile character of the recorder. Professor Dorothee Oberlinger is internationally known for her lively playing at the highest technical level, which repeatedly entices storms of enthusiasm among baroque music lovers and especially among listeners who previously knew the recorder from their school years. On various recorders, Oberlinger and the Bremer Barockorchester demonstrate the unimaginable possibilities in this instrument. Program: […]
