Gate at 8: #Tenderness | Where the Quiet Carries

How does longing sound? The ensemble featuring Christine Busch (Baroque violin), Kristin von der Goltz (Baroque cello), Veronika Braß (harpsichord), and Andrea Cordula Baur (lute & theorbo) explores this question through works by Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, Francesca Caccini, Louis Couperin, Georg Philipp Telemann, Joseph Dall’Abaco, and Johann Sebastian Bach. At the center is the Baroque theory of affects – the art of making emotions audible through specific musical "gestures." This creates soundscapes that bring pain, hope, tenderness, or astonishment to life right in the concert hall.

Petra Pellini captivated audiences with her novel "The Lifeguard Without a Sky," in which she sensitively and warmly narrates the experience of dealing with dementia. She will discuss the importance of the quiet tones and delicate moments when life goes awry.
