The Baroque Ensemble has prepared a rich and varied program for the 2017-8 season.
No less than 8 concerts (in the traditional format of a double performance, on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon) will be offered to an audience passionate about this form of music.
It is the musical director, Gilbert Bezzina, who explains and emphasizes: “We invite you to explore the shapes of this particular musical world of the 17th and 18th centuries, which has managed to weave its inventiveness with the legacy of the past, in our concert season.”
