This wintersemester at Folkwang University of the Arts is again packed with many exciting events, organised by our Early Music Department. On Monday November 3, Prof. Christian Rieger kicks off with a lecture about the influence of J.S. Bach on the music of Robert Schumann, followed by several concerts and workshops later in the semester, for instance of our orchestra Folkwang Barock. On Sunday December 7, I will be leading this ensemble in an adventurous program with Venetian early baroque music, by Dario Castello, Giovanni Picchi and Giovanni Valentini. As usual, all events will take place in the wonderful concert hall of Campus Duisburg. Please, check this link for more details about the events.
