For our Festival Finale, we are having a musical party on stage, and after the concert! Creating a 12-piece Festival Ensemble, we will perform beloved classics of the Baroque era. The whole programme is filled with famous Double Concertos where not one, but two soloists will interact, respond and imitate each other in a playful musical dialogue, whilst colleagues are cheering them on from the orchestra.

This music is fun and cheerful, the perfect finale to our festival.

Please join us post-concert for a fun, informal party at Wellington Music Hall! 

Reference Performance: The Netherlands Bach Society performing the repertoire.

Our August 29 finale features a unique, live collaboration by the BIGLAKE Festival Ensemble: Helena Berg, Sheila Jaffé, Elissa Lee, Dorian Xhoxhi (violins); Julia Garteman, Rémi Pelletier (violas); Cameron Crozman, Christoph Heesch (cellos); Nick Bobas (bass); Aleh Ramezau (oboe); and Ilya Poletaev (harpsichord).
