Avanti! arrives at the Night of the Arts, bringing with it a fresh breeze of secular baroque music and dance.
Baroque music was much more than Bach in churches. In the taverns and in the streets, music was sung and danced to, and it was not meant to praise God. The joys of carnal love, words of warning to maidens, advice to young men – these were the songs of the people. Nor were these themes lost in the chambers of the bourgeoisie or the salons of the aristocracy.
Soprano Tuuli Lindeberg, baroque dancer Maria Hostikka and Avant’s musicians will provide the harpsichords.
Duration of the show approx. 30-40 min
Free admission!
