6 2019/2020 season classical series 7 series great baroque

The baroque extravaganza returns, and brings along three first-class ensembles to the Grote Zaal. The Nether­ lands Bach Society, conducted by baroque master Andrew Parrott, kick off with Monteverdi’s famousVespro della Beata Vergine, one of the pinnacles of early Italian baroque. Another must see is Jordi Savall’s The Roots of Slavery. In this, he brings together his La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI with musicians from Mexico, Mali and Brazil, in order to tell a moving musical story about the history of slavery. Last but not least: you have the rare opportunity to hear the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Cappella Amsterdam and several exquisite soloists perform Bach’s St Matthew Passion, led by Daniel Reuss. The day of this concert also marks exactly fifty years since the first Dutch performance of this masterpiece.
