Albion

The concert "Albion" brings together different eras and styles in a fascinating dialogue between 20th-century British music and the Germanic tradition. From Beethoven's lyricism to Hildegard von Bingen's spirituality, from Bach's Baroque virtuosity to Britten's modernism, the programme explores the musical continuity between past and present. Leading this experience is Maria Włoszczowska, in the dual role of conductor of the Camerata Bern and solo violinist.
