About this concert
In the course of musical history Naples has dispatched a great number of its sons to conquer the world. Baroque monument Nicola Porpora undoubtedly ranks among the most successful of these sons, with a career which took him to Rome, Venice, Vienna, Dresden and London. With cantatas, opera fragments and instrumental work by this outstanding melodist, the Belgian ensemble Capriola di Gioia paints a portrait of this enterprising Neapolitan.

About the performers
In 2007 harpsichordist/organist Bart Naessens and his wife Amaryllis Dieltiens (soprano) founded the ensemble Capriola Di Gioia to give small-scale performances of poignant but often neglected music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble focuses on Baroque repertoire for soprano and basso continuo, music which on the whole also involves theatre. Their enjoyment in performing, as suggested by their name, combined with historical research, a lively feeling for drama and an even greater commitment to text, forms the basis for concerts and recordings which are increasingly appreciated by audience and reviewers alike.
Bart Naessens studied harpsichord and conducting at the Lemmensinstituut in Leuven, and organ at the Lemmensinstituut and the Paris conservatoire. He is a respected continuo player with an excellent track record with ensembles like Il Gardellino, Collegium Vocale, the Flemish Radio Choir, the Nederlandse Bachvereniging and B’Rock. Bart has recently been earning himself a growing reputation as conductor of his own ensembles, such as BachPlus and Capriola di Gioia.
