Christmas is the season of music! Orfeus Treasure Chamber is visited by the Italian baroque specialist, organist, and harpsichordist Luca Guglielmi in a program centered around Christmas. The program includes reconstructed trio sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, a type of compositions destroyed in a fire in Weimar in 1714, when many works from this important period of his creativity were lost. Also featured is music by Arcangelo Corelli, a truly central figure in the musical life of Rome during his time, who refined and popularized the trio sonata and the concerto grosso format.Since its founding in 2015, Orpheo Baroque has become an indispensable part of the capital's music scene and a meeting place for both the musicians of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and some of Sweden's leading freelance baroque musicians. The ensemble's more chamber music-oriented approach, as we encounter here, emerges under the banner of Orpheus' Treasure Trove.Each concert with Orpheus Baroque is led by guest top musicians in early music, and here we once again encounter the Italian organist and harpsichordist Luca Guglielmi, one of the world's foremost experts in early music.
