This Friday evening promises to be fresh, audacious and good-naturedly playful when the Baroque Soloists transform the Opera House foyer into an English pub. Come and listen to composer Henry Purcell and other great names from London’s 17th century pub circles in an evening of folk music, song and dance, a good deal of improvisation – all accompanied by much talk, good humour and of course beer!
The Baroque Soloists are a group of musicians who are excellent soloists in their own right. The group was founded in 2006 – with the highly creative and original Bjarte Eike as performing artistic director. The musicians are youthful and approach the music, played on period instruments, from a refreshing angle. The ensemble has enjoyed great success throughout Europe, has recorded a number of CDs and regularly tours Norway with Concerts Norway and The Cultural Rucksack, a project to bring culture to schools. The Baroque Soloists’ roots are in early music and the members focus on reaching out to a wide audience through virtuoso playing and imaginative programme concepts. Their concerts are often described as playful and pushing the limits.
In addition to the two concerts they are giving, they will also be in the orchestra pit for the ballet Evening with the Baroque Masters and the opera Alcina.
