On Friday morning, 28 February 2025, Ben Verschuren will give a lecture on music during times of war and peace in the Baroque period.

War and peace are timeless themes. Likewise, music has been composed to commemorate these wars and peace. Just think of the Wilhelmus or 'Merck toch hoe sterck' from our own history. The march music that called for battle in all countries and the soothing hymns that were performed upon the conclusion of peace.

In the Baroque period, it was no different. Ben Verschuren will discuss this using the double CD from the internationally renowned and acclaimed music collector and performer Jordi Savall. 
Prepare to be surprised by the lecture and music from different times.Doors open at: 9:30 AM Start: 10:00 AM 
Programme duration: 90 minutes

A special lecture by Ben Verschuren on baroque music during war and peace, featuring music from bygone times.
