Chamber Music in the Village Church of Kleinhüningen: Spring

Description

The Klybeck Quarter in Basel—Amid this modern blend of industry, transportation, working-class suburbs, and music, which inspires creative processes, lies a lovely green oasis. Within it stands the charming village church of Kleinhüningen, which, with its distinctive onion-domed tower, is Basel’s only Baroque church!
Four times a year—in the fall, winter, spring, and summer—various groups from La Cetra perform chamber music in the small church, a genre that is now rarely cultivated in such an intimate setting, followed by a cozy aperitif.
Couperin’s famous program music “L’Apothéose de Lully” depicts Lully’s ascension to Parnassus, where he is welcomed by Apollo and the Muses, as well as by Corelli. Corelli and Lully make music together on the violin, thereby putting an end to the decades-long dispute between Italian and French music. Artists
