B’Rock and ChorWerk Ruhr meet at the crossroads between Schütz and the contemporary sounds of the composer Nikolaus Brass and the vocal artist Phil Minton.

B'Rock is venturing into another monument by Bach. His Mass in B-Minor was an astonishing contribution to the oldest genre in religious music: the Latin mass.

The St John’s Passion will be bracketed by a penetrating prelude and epilogue by Annelies Van Parys, while the Palestinian-Israeli composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi has written a confrontational intermezzo.

Antonio Vivaldi painted with sounds. His mission was to strike the listener amidships with music that is so evocative that it is almost palpable.

Time for a new challenge: performances of Schubert's complete symphonies, conducted by René Jacobs. This long-term project starts with the first and sixth symphonies.

This new programme is all about Italian baroque music from the 17th and 18th centuries. We often forget how modern and experimental this music was and still is.

Roused by his boundless virtuosity and intense expressiveness, the orchestra brings Vivaldi's world of images to life.

Bach's solo cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen landen is a feast of virtuosity and lyrical expression, in which the soprano and trumpet enter into an exalted dialogue. Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate also radiates concert bliss.

This programme brings together two of the finest Magnificat settings. Under the baton of the up and coming conductor Benjamin Bayl, B'Rock and Vocalconsort Berlin back up a five-member cast of exquisite solo voices.
