TELEMARATHON

A second initiative, the Telemarathon, appeals to young professional musicians, who wish to present themselfs as a chamber music ensemble to an international jury and to an interested audience. During Telemarathon, on Saturday 3 June from 14 to 18h, we want to present all 12 (!) cantates of Telemann for recorder, voice (m / f) and basso continuo (organ / clavecimbel / cello / gamba / bassoon / theorbe) from his printed edition Harmonischer Gottesdienst (1725-26).

This presentation is open to all (pre)professional players from Flanders, Belgium and abroad.
