Baroque Twitter – Bird Songs in Arias and Concertos of the High Baroque
GALA Orchestral Concert
Saturday, 29 July 2017
7.30 pm, Saanen Church
She sings, she sings, Nuria Rial, like the bird for Twitter, a bluebird! Visitors to the Gstaad Menuhin Festival know this well, just as they are very familiar with the acrobatic talents of virtuoso Maurice Steger, who also is leading the Festival’s very dynamic Baroque Academy. Bring these two artists together with the Basel Chamber Orchestra and you have the makings for a heavenly concert!
