La Festa Musicale
La Festa Musicale is a young Baroque orchestra, based in Northern Germany. Effervescence, joie de vivre, and virtuosity – these are the means by which the musicians breathe new life into Early Music. La festa musicale focusses its work on orchestral pieces, cantatas, and oratorios of the High Baroque period, currently performing mainly in northern Germany.Most of the orchestra’s members are graduates of the Musikhochschulen in Hanover and Bremen, and they play with Baroque ensembles such as Cantus Cölln, Das Kleine Konzert, the Collegium Cartusianum, Musica Alta Ripa, the Hannoversche Hofkapelle, the Lautten Compagney, and many more. At appearances at the Internationale Händelfestspiele in Göttingen and Halle, the Rheingau-Musikfestival, the Telemannzentrum Magdeburg, the Usedomer Musikfestival, and numerous further concerts across Germany and Europe, the musicians have left their mark as charismatic Baroque performers of the new generation who are to be reckoned with in the coming years.
