Finnish Baroque Orchestra

Free admission, follow our website for updates of the concert that are open to the public.

As part of its education and outreach programme, the Helsinki Chamber Choir brings a programme of early German Baroque music to schools and libraries in collaboration with the Finnish Baroque Orchestra. The programme is framed by sacred madrigals from Johann Hermann Schein’s impressive collection Israelsbrünnlein (Fountain of Israel) and also includes Italian-language madrigals by Heinrich Schütz - inspired by his studies in Venice - and music by master composers Michael Praetorius and Samuel Scheidt.

 
In collaboration with: Finnish Baroque Orchestra, Finnish Cultural Foundation and the parishes and municipalities/cities of Forssa, Tammisaari, Mäntyharju, Nurmes and Helsinki.

Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern
Ei mein Perle, du werte Kron
Geuß sehr tief in mein Herz hinein
Von Gott kömmt mir ein Freudenschein

Tornate, o cari baci
