The World in Rhythm
After exploring the nineteenth-century European salon and the musical worlds of the Renaissance, Thomas Hengelbrock finally breaks all boundaries in presenting works from New Zealand, Europe and North, Central, and South America. He not only brings his Balthasar Neumann Orchestra along with him, but other ensembles as well – such as the Cuban-European Youth Academy. You can look forward to a concert you will never forget, since everything is unusual, new and exciting: the musicians, the program, and last but not least the visual projections that will accompany the performance.
