Songs of Nature
Muziektheater Transparant & B’Rock
Nature in music, according to Handel & Henderickx
Songs of Nature reaches back to the perception of nature in the golden age of Baroque music. Praise for the beauty of nature and eternal life are the connecting thread of Handel’s Neun Deutsche Arien. These wonderful arias are alternated with brand-new, short compositions for baroque ensemble by season’s composer Wim Henderickx. In the Korean soprano Sunhae Im, B’Rock has a partner of international stature for this unforgettable concert experience.
