The Divino Sospiro ensemble and mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg present a concert featuring two of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most notable cantatas, composed in Weimar and Leipzig, along with works by Alessandro Scarlatti and Alessandro Stradella.

The program explores the contrast between the austerity of the Lutheran tradition and the emotional intensity of Italian Baroque music, revealing affinities between seemingly distinct worlds. The influence of Italian composers on Bach's work serves as a starting point for a journey through the expressive richness of the European Baroque. A musical event that highlights the diversity of styles, sensitivity, and creativity of these composers.
