LOVE IN THE BAROQUE (Event 1 – 2026 Summer Baroque Season)

Members of the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra present a programme of instrumental chamber music from the baroque period, centred around leading composers, the people who inspired them, and their passions outside the world of music.

The programme includes music by Bach, Handel, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and Thomas Arne, as well as pieces from the Anna Magdalena Bach manuscript books.

Musicians of the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra, Ingo Müller (baroque oboe), Annien Shaw (baroque violin), Rosamund Roth (viola da gamba) and Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord/Director) play on period instruments, authentically conveying the sound-world of the baroque period.

Join us for a programme of exciting and expressive repertoire, that celebrates the love of people, places and the arts in all its forms, from a historical perspective!

Please note: The concert starts at 18:00, but there will be wine and light refreshments available in the gardens from 17:00.
