Augustin Pfleger, one of the most important composers before J S Bach, developed together with Buxtehude the German cantata tradition. Pfleger's cantatas are dramatic, close to an opera, with a musical language that mixes inspiration from Monteverdi's Italian style with Nordic folk music elements.

Orkester Nord, and the orchestra's own vocal ensemble Vox Nidrosiensis has during the last years established as one of the leading Scandnavian ensembles of baroque and early music. Orkester Nord, based in Trondheim, Norway, has performed at festivals and concert halls in whole Europa, as well as in Latin America.

Please note that the concert takes place in the ADOLF FREDRIK'S CHURCH, Stockholm!
