Hong Kong City Hall, Central | The Art of Northern Germany: Baroque Trio Sonatas for Violin, Viola da Gamba & Harpsichord

Description

Trio sonatas for violin, viola da gamba, and harpsichord were immensely popular in the German-speaking regions during the Baroque period. In this concert, we present works by four composers from northern Germany. Each composer has a distinctive musical voice, offering audiences an opportunity to discover beautiful repertoire beyond the well-known works of J. S. Bach.

The concert will be performed on period instruments. After the performance, audience members are warmly invited to try our Baroque instruments and meet the performers.
