| Chiaroscuro | Of Bach's two concerti for violin, flute, and harpsichord, the Brandenburg Concerto V is the most famous, but the concerto in a-minor, BWV 1044, is equally intriguing. These two concerti emphasize contrasting elements, both in surprising orchestral textures and in the colorful play between wind, bowed, and plucked soloists. The program is completed with Muffat's lush Sonata V, using string orchestra and continuo. | ||

| Metamorphosis | Metamorphosis, an idea that implies change and transformation, was the inspirational foundation of this program. We have chosen specific pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach that represent metamorphosis through changes in instrumentation, including revisions and experimentations, as well as pieces that use explicit texts on transformation. All of the chosen pieces from Metamorphosis may be, and often are, performed with alternative instrumentations. |

| Friends of Corelli | A gathering of the 18th century's most cosmopolitan composers, Friends of Corelli brings together works by Archangelo Corelli and those who came in contact with him throughout his life. Much like today's musicians, Corelli traveled to numerous countries and crossed paths in many different ways with some of the most prolific composers, including B. Pasquini, Geminiani, Handel and others. | ||

| A German Tour | JS Bach's contrapuntal style, Telemann's Galanterie, CPE Bach's Empfindsamkeit, and a surprising dash of Kleinknecht's Sturm und Drang all combine in this program. Through solo and trio sonatas, we highlight the main musical movements of northern Germany in the middle of the 18th century. | ||

| Mad with Love | Obsession, jealousy, insanity and rage are the dark recurring themes from our Mad with Love concert. From the melancholic era of the English Renaissance, Barcelona Barroc is pleased to present its audience with a theatrical program of dramatic music based on unrequited love, by composers such as Eccles, Purcell and Dowland. | ||

| Icarus: Celebrating the spirit of Icarus, we present a concert about the story of Icarus and its different symbolisms. This program includes a mixture of vocal music and instrumental pieces by composers from Northen Europe, specifically England, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. The vocal pieces are either chosen for their texts, which describe aspects Icarus' exciting and intriguing journey, or for their specific symbolism contributing to the story of Icarus. The instrumental pieces are from the same era and area as the vocal pieces, and chosen for their close association to each other. | |||
