Chamber Music in the Village Church of Kleinhüningen: Summer

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 fall, winter, spring, and summer—various groups from La Cetra perform chamber music in the small church, a genre that is now rarely heard in such an intimate setting, followed by a cozy aperitif. Vocal and instrumental works by José Marín, Sebastián Durón, Juan Hidalgo, Gaspar Sanz, and others impressively reflect the spirit of the “Siglo de Oro”—that golden age of Spanish literature and music. A wide variety of combinations and contrasts resonate, ranging from delicate intimacy to fiery expression. Artists
Alice Borciani, soprano
Germán Echeverri Chamorro, violin
Irene González Roldán, harpsichord
Amélie Chemin, viola da gamba
Maria Ferré, baroque guitar & theorbo
