With Nils Landgren – trombone la festa musicale Anne Marie Harer – direction Programme Works originally by Agostino Steffani, Francesco Venturini and Georg Friedrich Handel Description With this programme, the orchestra la festa musicale leaves the familiar shores of Baroque music and explores new territory. Together with internationally sought-after jazz trombonist Nils Landgren, the musicians build bridges between genres. Compositions by Hanoverian court music directors Steffani, Handel and Venturini form the core and starting point of the programme: dance suites and concertos are performed by la festa musicale in their original form, opera arias in instrumental versions, and together they provide a springboard for improvisations between styles. At times, Nils Landgren blends into the historical sound with a Baroque trombone; at others, he inspires the “old musicians” to create something entirely new. Baroque music composed on the Leine is thus “let off the leash”! What can we expect from this evening? Nils Landgren is researching the ancestry of his trombone, la festa musicale is experimenting with a musical rejuvenation treatment for wild Baroque curls, and the audience will enjoy a wonderfully entertaining evening!
