About this concert

More than anyone, warrior and artist Frederick II 'the Great' of Prussia lent colour to the galant era represented at this festival. The king was a gifted flautist and composer, and his sister Wilhelmine also had a flair for music. During this concert the Canadian flute talent Aysha Wills will play a copy of an instrument that was made for Frederick by his illustrious teacher J.J. Quantz.

About the performers

Aysha Wills emigrated to the Netherlands in 2011 to study at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. After completing undergraduate degrees in historical and modern flutes, she obtained the master’s degree 'Flute in Historical Perspective'. She is one of the founders of the early music ensemble Postscript. Her debut CD as a soloist, a recording of the flute sonatas by J.S. Bach, will be released this summer.

Canadian cellist Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde performs as a soloist, in chamber music groups, and with larger ensembles. In the Netherlands she has performed at the Utrecht Early Music Festival, the Grachtenfestival and MuziekHaven. She is also a member of the Postscript ensemble, which performed at last year's Festival. She sets great store by research, and she enjoys applying new discoveries in her own musical practice.

Whether we’re talking modern concert piano, harpsichord, clavichord or various types of historical pianos: Artem Belogurov feels at home with it. He was born in Latvia, grew up in Ukraine and has lived in Amsterdam since 2014. He is active as a soloist, with his duo partner cellist Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde and as a member of the ensemble Postscript. In the Netherlands he has performed in the Utrecht Early Music Festival and Wonderfeel Festival, among other venues.
