EARLY MUSIC DAY

Dir.: Dir. Martin Wåhlberg

Orkester Nord - (Dir: Martin Wåhlberg)

Life and Passion of the Christ

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 opera, with a musical language that is inspired both by Monteverdi's Italian style as well as Nordic folk music.

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