SUMMARY:IDYLL - Pastoral works by Charpentier (Event 2 - 2026 Winter Baroque Season)
DESCRIPTION:Exploring idyllic settings from a late 17th-century perspective\, singers of Lutesong Consort (www.lutesong.co.za)\, and period instrumentalists of the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra\, under the musical direction of Erik Dippenaar\, present four works for solo voices and instruments by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643–1704). Likely intended for performance in aristocratic salons and private circles\, these works evoke an idealised landscape of shepherds\, shepherdesses and courtly romance. In contrast to many of his French contemporaries\, Charpentier composed several vocal works in Italian\, perhaps reflecting both the tastes of his patrons and his own engagement with Italian music. \nThe three Italian works on the programme\, namely Serenata a tre voci\, H.472\, Amor vince\, H.492 and Cupido perfido\, H.493\, illustrate his assimilation of Italian stylistic features within a French compositional idiom\, resulting in music that is direct in expression yet no less affecting. These works are contrasted with the Idylle sur le retour de la santé du Roi\, H.489\, a more ornate example of his distinctively French style. \nWith:\nLutesong Consort\nElsabé Richter\, Vasti Zeeman-Knoesen (sopranos)\nLente Louw (mezzo-soprano\, Artistic Director: Lutesong Consort)\nWillem Bester and Van Wyk Venter (alto/tenor)\nKeaton Manwaring (bass) \nCape Town Baroque Orchestra\nAnnien Shaw and Ralitza Macheva (baroque violins)\nRosamund Roth (viola da gamba)\nUwe Grosser (lute\, chitarrone\, baroque guitar)\nDale de Windt (chamber organ)\nErik Dippenaar (harpsichord\, musical direction) \nPlease join us for a complimentary glass of wine after the concert! \nEnquiries can be directed to info@ctbaroque.co.za. \nBOOK HERE\n*** \nWatch Lutesong Consort and the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra performing together\, recorder at the South African Slave Church Museum in February 2022: \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n*** \nThis is Event 2 in our 2026 Winter Baroque Season.

SUMMARY:WILHELMINE\, SEBASTIAN\, ÉLIZABETH\, AND GEORGE - (Event 3 - 2026 Winter Baroque Season)
DESCRIPTION:The Cape Town Baroque Orchestra presents a programme of orchestral music by Wilhelmine von Bayreuth (1709-1758)\, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)\, Élizabeth Jaquet de la Guerre (1665-1729) and George Frideric Handel (1685-1759): four composers linked together in diverse ways. The centrepiece of the programme will be Bach’s moving cantata Ich habe genug\, BWV82\, with William Berger (baritone) and Ingo Müller (baroque oboe) as soloists. This cantata\, which was written during Bach’s fourth year in Leipzig (1727)\, was performed several times during his lifetime\, and later arranged into a version for soprano solo with traverso obligato. The original scoring for bass and baroque oboe will be used in this concert. Erik Dippenaar will feature as harpsichord soloist in the G-minor concerto by Wilhelmine von Bayreuth. Wilhelmine was a skilled composer and performer\, a patron of the arts\, later a diplomat\, and also the sister of Frederick the Great. The harpsichord concerto\, written in 1734\, was likely to be performed with Wilhelmine herself playing the solo harpsichord part\, and the music displays a blend of Italian and French influences.  Also included in the programme will be an orchestral suite by Élizabeth Jaquet de la Guerre and the aria Se il mar promette calma from Handel’s Lotario\, HWV 26. The concert will be directed from the harpsichord by the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra’s Artistic Director\, Erik Dippenaar. \nWith: William Berger (baritone)\, Ingo Müller (baroque oboe)\, Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord/director) and the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra. \nPlease join us for a complimentary glass of wine after the concert! \nEnquiries can be directed to info@ctbaroque.co.za. \nBOOK HERE\n*** \nWatch William Berger (baritone) perform Se il mar promette calma (Handel) with the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra at the South African Slave Church Museum in February 2022: \n\n  \n*** \nThis is Event 2 in our 2026 Winter Baroque Season.
