Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht

Musica Gloria opens with an imaginary baroque opera, blending the music of Henry and Daniel Purcell with arias, dances, and instrumental pieces. Gli Angeli Genève follows in the afternoon with perhaps the most compelling music Bach wrote: his solo cantatas for bass. Artist in Residence Patrick Ayrton creates new music that imitates baroque - but is it distinguishable? Ensemble Correspondances concludes by bringing baroque masters from Notre-Dame back from oblivion with a repertoire they master perfectly and a sublime balance between soloists, choir, and instruments.
