Freiburg Baroque Orchestra: A musical rendezvous of the centuries!

Freiburg Baroque Orchestra: A musical rendezvous of the centuries!

On July 14, 2025, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra celebrates a remarkable event: For 25 years now, the ensemble has been regularly traviving for concerts in the Liedhalle Stuttgart and the Berlin Philharmonie. In this anniversary year, the orchestra of the musical route is devoted to Berlin in the 18th century from the southwest of Germany. Particular attention applies to the works of composers who worked along this route.

For the 3rd subscription concert by the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, the topic of the music of the 18th century is in the foreground. The program includes both well -known classics and rarely played rarities. Selected works come from respected composers such as Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, Johann Christoph Pez, Johann Sigismund Kusser, Johann Ludwig Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach.

musical stops

The concerts are not only a pleasure for the ears, but also an acoustic journey of discovery. The musical stops along the route are equally fascinating:

• Rastatt: Overture by Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer
• Stuttgart: Concerto pastorale by Christoph Pez
• Ansbach: 1. Overture in G minor by Johann Sigismund Kusser
• Meiningen: 2nd Brandenburg concert by Johann Ludwig Bach
• Last stage: concert for two violins by Georg Philipp Telemann and the 2nd Brandenburg concert by Johann Sebastian Bach

The different regions had a strong influence on the musical expression of the era. It can be seen that the southwest was strongly influenced by Lully, while Central Germany had Italian influences. In the northeast, individualistic styles were created, which were largely shaped by Bach and Telemann.

The concert program

The planned concert program includes the following works:

• Johann Caspar Fischer: Suite in D minor op. 1.4 from Le Journal de Printemps
• Johann Christian Pez: Concerto Pastorale F major
• Johann Sigismund Kusser: OUVERTURE No. 1 G minor from Apollon Enjoué
• Johann Ludwig Bach: Ouverture G major
• Georg Philipp Telemann: Double concert A minor TWV 52: A2
• Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg concert No. 2 F major BWV 1047

The ensemble is made up of talented musicians, including Daniela Lieb (flute), Ann-Kathrin Brüggemann (oboe) and Judith von der Goltz (violin). In addition, Gottfried von der Goltz takes over the management of the orchestra.

For those interested, a free introductory lecture is offered at 7.15 p.m. in the foyer (1. floor). The ticket prices vary depending on the space category: 55 (I), 50 (II), 45 (III), 35 (IV), 25 (v).
