Orpheus Baroque presents a deep dive into French Baroque. Among other things, we hear two pieces by the innovative Jean-Féry Rebel – a composer who lives up to the associations inspired by his surname. Les Élémens is perhaps his boldest and best-known work. It is a musical description of creativity, beginning with a sense of chaos that is immediately reminiscent of the avantgarde style of the twentieth century!
Critically acclaimed ensemble Orpheus Baroque regularly works with prominent guests from the international Baroque music scene. Artistic director is the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic’s solo cellist, Johannes Rostamo, as well as concertmaster and Baroque violinist Elin Gabrielsson, a member, among other ensembles, of Italian Europa Galante.
