About the concert

Kom med til en spændende musikalsk forelæsning om celloen og dens rige historie, præsenteret af barokcellist og underviser Laura Trujillo (Spanien/Danmark). Udviklet i 1500-tallet blev celloen hurtigt en hjørnesten i barokmusikken, værdsat for sin dybe, udtryksfulde klang og alsidighed. Både som soloinstrument og i continuo-rollen tilføjede den varme og dybde til værker af komponister som Bach, Vivaldi og Händel. Arrangementet giver et levende indblik i instrumentets udvikling og dets uundværlige rolle i barokkens klangverden.
