BACH MATERIA

After an all-too long hiatus, we are thrilled to welcome the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra back to Kuhmo. Swedish composer Anders Hillborg has cooked up quite a stew from Bach’s beloved Brandenburg Concert No. 3. The soloist is free to season the stew with improvisational spices of their own. It’s hard to avoid the influence of blues and the ensuing manic jam session. After the interval, the festival’s artistic directors will join the orchestra and guide the audience through the captivating world of Dvořák’s Slavic melodies.
