Guitarist Lars Hedelius-Strikkertsen and the North Jutland baroque ensemble Ensemble Zimmermann open the Aalborg Guitar Festival with a concert of music from the Baroque and the Viennese Classical era, played on historical instruments that bring the audience closer to the sound the composers themselves knew.
Hedelius-Strikkertsen plays a replica baroque guitar after an instrument from around 1670, alongside an original French guitar from 1815. The ensemble, which has spent a quarter of a century championing early music, brings works ranging from lesser-known composers to beloved oratorios by Bach, Mozart and Handel. The programme includes Vivaldi, Boccherini, Blow and Dowland.
