Masters of French Baroque: Wratislavia‐Cantans Festival
About the Event
Wratislavia Cantans could not take place without the Oratorio and Cantata Music Interpretation Course. The 43rd edition of the event so awaited by music students will be led by Benjamin Bayl, a first‐class conductor in the field of vocal forms, coming from Australia. The audience will assess the effects of the students’ work with the master during a concert featuring Frenchman Jean Gilles' Baroque motets.
In the life of Maestro Bayl, artistic education has also played a key role. He was the first Australian organ scholar at the elite King's College in Cambridge, as a conductor he was very fortunate to have famous mentors – he assisted Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Iván Fischer and Paul McCreesh. We invite you to his festival concert with enthusiastic young adepts of early music.
