Early Music

Thought-provoking and adventurous

Thought-provoking and adventurous early music ensembles make music from the Renaissance and Baroque come alive in this series. Well-known and beloved works, such as Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater, will be heard alongside beautiful lesser-known repertoire from all corners of Europe. In four lectures, Jan Van den Bossche sheds light on the richness of early music.

Lecture series Early Music by Jan Van den Bossche
Before each of the four concerts, a lecture by Jan Van den Bossche provides background and context. As a former director of the Utrecht Early Music Festival and the Netherlands Bach Society, he is the perfect lecturer to guide you through the multi-coloured early music.
