About this concert
A gala of galanterie without the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is unthinkable. The collective – now with more than 40 years under its belt – is the perfect master of ceremonies to lead this festival edition to its ultimate climax. Guest of honour Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is given a lap of honour with a regal orchestral programme drenched in rhetoric and sentiment.
Two sinfonias constantly wrong-foot the listener with their contrasting episodes that make sparks fly. The flute can also reap its rewards just once more in a concerto on the cutting edge. The exotic double concerto for harpsichord and fortepiano from the last year of C.P.E.'s life crowns the festival.

About the performers
The fifty-strong Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century was founded by Frans Brüggen in 1981. The musicians, individually known as specialists in the field of eighteenth and early nineteenth century music, play authentic instruments or copies. After the death of Frans Brüggen in 2014, the orchestra members decided to continue the tradition of seven tours per year with guest conductors.
