Program

Renaissance “Pop Hits” Reimagined – from the Collections of Georg Forster and Georg Rhau

Featuring

Zweigulden
Holly Scarborough | Renaissance flute
Philipp Wingeier | Percussion

Today we listen to early music in concert halls. During the Renaissance, it was the soundtrack of everyday life: Iit accompanied banquets and celebrations, rang out in taverns and on the streets, and often simply created a festive atmosphere. The ensemble Zweigulden brings this world of sound back to life with flute and drum,  — featuring newly interpreted “pop hits” from the famous song collections of Georg Forster and Georg Rhau, the musical bestsellers of the period around 1550. 

The Basel-based duo provides the musical accompaniment for the culinary interlude at the BERLINER FESTIVAL ALTER MUSIK on Saturday evening. We invite you to enjoy some wonderful music in a convivial atmosphere!
