Freiburger Barockorchester: Tamerlano
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 justified its decision.
With the concert performance of Handel's music drama “Tamerlano”, for which the ensemble welcomes renowned soloists under the direction of René Jacobs, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra will bring the 2024/25 season to a close in a way that is as exciting as it is brilliant.
