In their concert series entitled "Horizonte" (Horizons), Ensemble Ad Fontes will present works by C.P.E. Bach, G.Ph. Telemann, N. Matteis, van Eyck, and others.
Improvisation sounds as if it was created in the moment, free and without bounds. But if you listen closely, you will realize that even within their presumed freedom, fantasies in the music of the Baroque, follow certain patterns, idiomatic turns, and stylistic phrases. The terms "Fantasia" or "quasi una fantasia" often refer to solo pieces that move between structure and spontaneity in a playful manner. The same is true for bird song: what sounds like pure nature and free design, in fact turns out to be a woven pattern of repeated motifs, creating it's own musical cosmos. The program of this concert unfolds like a stream of consciousness. The transitions are consciously left open and the order of the pieces does not follow a linear dramaturgy but a free, associative logic.
Soloists are Anne Simone Aeberhard (recorder) and Mojca Gal (violin).
Entrance is free but their will be a collection.
