Date: Saturday, September 21, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Venue: St. George's Church in Sengwarden
Torsten Johann (Organ), Veronika Skuplik (Violin) & Mechthild Karkow (Violin)
As instrumental chamber music gained importance in the early Baroque period, the trio sonata emerged as one of the most beautiful ideas. This composition form quickly spread across Europe from Italy. The English composer Henry Purcell wrote in 1683 that "...he had faithfully sought to imitate the famous Italian masters; mainly to promote this type of music in fashion."

Chamber Music in the Baroque Hall
"Trout Quintet" by Franz Schubert & "Piano Quintet" by Hermann Goetz
Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Venue: Baroque Hall Schloss Gödens Sande
Konstantin Pfiz (Cello), Simon Kasper (Piano), Gregory Ahss (Violin), Oliviero Hassan (Viola) & Knut Erik Sundquist (Double Bass)
Franz Schubert's "Trout Quintet" is one of the most popular works in chamber music. This melody is elaborately varied, shifted between different voices, played with elegance or virtuosity; sometimes cheerful, sometimes plaintive, then full of energy: Music full of sophistication and joy of life. In contrast, we want to spotlight an almost forgotten composer: Hermann Goetz. Upon hearing his music, one might be surprised that it is so rarely heard in concert halls.
Christmas Oratorio by C.H. Graun
Date: Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Venue: Christus and Garrison Church
Chamber Choir Wilhelmshaven, Conductor: Gerrit Junge / Baroque Orchestra "La Dolcetta", The Soloists: Tanya Aspelmeier (Soprano), Juliette Schindewolf (Alto), Knut Schoch (Tenor) & Manfred Bittner (Bass)
Carl Heinrich Graun's Christmas Oratorio tells of the eager anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ. Graun (1704 - 1754) was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach. Ten years before Bach's Christmas Oratorio premiere, he composed his "Oratorio in Festum Nativitati Christi," which was extremely modern for that time. Graun's Oratorio is considered a masterpiece. With excerpts from Bach's Oratorio, the outstanding compositions of their creators are highlighted in a special way. An extraordinary concert experience on the eve of the 2nd Advent.
