Ercu Summer Concert

Ercu Summer Concert

24 May 2025 - 24 May 2025

For our summer concert, we present some of the sunniest works in the repertoire as well as a world premiere. Dixit Dominus is an extraordinary tour de force composed by a youthful Handel while he was living in Italy. Chorus, orchestra and soloists are all employed to impressive effect: the opening is one of Handels most arresting orchestral preludes. The Brandenburg concertos show Bach at his most resourceful and exploratory. In No 5, the harpsichord takes a leading role among the soloiststhe work has been called the first keyboard concerto ever written. In Bachs Missa Brevis , a translucent orchestral texture underpins the choir and soloists; it has a pastoral nature thanks to the inclusion of two flutes. Advice for a Butterfly explores time and change. Written for chorus, string orchestra, two solo violins and two flutes, the music is a study in temporality, capturing the beauty of the life of a butterfly, and its bittersweet shortness.
