Opera in the Salon
Elisabeth Hetherington's star is rising fast. For both early music and new music, she is a dream interpreter, with a radiant voice and an equally lucid imagination. This opera gala takes us back to the eighteenth-century noble salon, where visitors loved to listen to the hits from the opera theatre in domestic settings. Many popular opera arias from that era were brilliantly arranged for smaller ensemble. These are brought to life by Postscript, one of the best baroque ensembles in our country. A programme with arias by Handel, Hasse, Bononcini and other grandmasters.

Fierce January 2023 – An Ukrainian Diary
Viktoria Viitrenko soprano Antonii Baryshevskyi piano
World Premiere Ukrainian Song Cycle
Ukrainian composer Svyatoslav Lunyov has a voice all his own. His music can be hushed and spiritual, but also full of sardonic humour. It is music that as a listener cannot possibly leave you unmoved. The pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi, this season our artist in residence, played Lunyov's piano works with us earlier this year, which made a smashing impression on the audience.

Phonoramas by Godowsky and Debussy
Tobias Borsboom piano
A masterpiece
Dutch pianist Tobias Borsboom likes to search for hidden treasures in the piano repertoire. On one of his quests he came across the Java Suite by the composer Leopold Godowsky . Godowsky was on a concert tour in Indonesia in 1924 and fell under the spell of Java's temples, jungles, cities and volcanoes. He wrote an hour-long musical travelogue: virtuoso piano music that allows the pianist to conjure a kaleidoscopic palette of colours from the piano.
