About this programme

Our all-new chamber programme explores one of Baroque music’s greatest enigmas: to what extent does the received score convey all of the composer’s intentions and ideas for performance? “The Art of Improvisation” offers no hard and fast answers whilst offering a thrilling European tour of Baroque music in which free creativity is alternately released and captured: folk transcriptions, themes and variations, ornamentation, full improvisation – and contemporary completion.
