NOTE ON THE PROGRAMME: 

Early music does not often feature in music competitions; as we think this is wrong, we have now given it a prominent place in our festivals and concerts. In Geneva, we rarely call upon purely baroque musical energy, such as Gli Angeli. However, we enjoy this group, have been following them for a long time and are delighted to be inviting them to the 2017 Festival. Our young artists – singers, flautist and pianist – will have the opportunity to get into baroque mode for an evening dedicated to Mozart and to Bach’s son, who came the closest to the classical style. Virtuosity, love songs and baroque music: what a fine Opéra des Nations concert!
