About

The 17th edition of the “À Volta do Barroco” festival begins with a tribute to Bach’s music, with arrangements for a symphony orchestra by great modern composers, and continues with the Renaissance polyphony of Palestrina, by Coro Casa da Música. The Concerto for Soloist and Orchestra, a hallmark of Baroque music, brings together the Orquestra Barroca with two important figures from the music world: conductor Andreas Staier and violinist Ilya Gringolts. As many of the Baroque practices persist in the music that has been written to this day, there is also room to hear motets by Bruckner or a piece by Rebecca Saunders. The festival ends with the soloists of Orquestra Barroca, after going through the “Great Mass in C minor” by Mozart.
