The Charm of Periods Past

Every historical period or stylistic era is characterised by its own specific features and customs. The chamber works of the greatest masters of the Baroque and early Classical periods continue to come to life, even after three hundred years, in the temples of music, enchanting audiences with their charm and beauty. Nowadays, however, we perform them on different, more modern musical instruments and interpret them in a different way.

This year’s final Moravian Philharmonic Music Salon will feature works by Czech, French, Italian and German composers, performed both on period instruments in an authentic, historically informed manner , and as “early music” interpretations using modern wind instruments.

The protagonists will be Nikita Ruzhavinskii, concertmaster of the MFO’s cello section, and harpsichordist and pianist Daria Savvateeva, both of whom specialise in historically informed performance. The second half of the concert will feature the Moravia Quintet, a chamber ensemble that has been associated with the Moravian Philharmonic for many years.
