Freiburger Barockorchester: Du wunderbares Kind

About the Event

On the last day of 1985, some former students of the Freiburg University of Music decided to found an ensemble dedicated entirely to historically informed performance practice: the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.
This spontaneous idea developed into a unique musical success story that was rewarded with numerous prizes. “Fresh impulses, highly virtuosic, playful lightness, stylish ornamentation, improvisational elements and a remarkable sense of dialog,” is how the jury of the International Classic Music Award recently explained its decision. Concertmaster Cecilia Bernardini, “charismatic captain and sensitive dialog partner” (SWR Kultur), alternates with founder Gottfried von der Goltz in leading the orchestra from the concertmaster's podium. Renowned artists regularly work with the ensemble.
During the Advent season, Berlin audiences can look forward to a festive concert evening with soprano Julia Lezhneva, who will set the mood for the approaching festive season with famous Christmas works by Bach, Handel and Corelli.
