The Chamber Choir of the Arts and the Institute for Early Music are guests at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The evening will be encircled by two outstanding works by George Frideric Handel: the Concerto grosso op. 3 No. 4 and the Chandos Anthem My song shall be alway. Further pieces for Ascension Day for choir a cappella, baroque chamber music works and contemporary pieces for recorder ensemble complete round off the program and fill the shimmering blue interior of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church with interwoven sounds from four centuries that will make the soul float.

Avinoam Shalev, our professor of historical keyboard instruments, will perform his musical triathlon on three instruments: a fortepiano and two harpsichords. In the 18th century, these instruments sometimes coexisted peacefully, sometimes competed against each other. The concert will focus on the diversity of keyboard instruments and the music that was written composed for them. The program brings to light excerpts from this exciting chapter in history with solo pieces by Schobert, Frescobaldi, C. P. E. Bach and Mozart.
