European Hanseatic Ensemble: CELEBRATIONS – Music in the life of the old Hanseatic cities

There was always something to celebrate in the old Hanseatic cities: birthdays, weddings, inaugurations, graduations, funerals, peace treaties, not to mention the numerous occasions required by the church year. And almost always there was music to accompany them, indeed, it was composed especially for these occasions and probably performed only once – what a pity! For these pieces of “occasional music” were quite in keeping with the times and provided the musicians employed in the Hanseatic cities with a welcome additional income.

The programme of the European Hanseatic Ensemble combines compositions that were written for very specific occasions in Königsberg, Hamburg, Lüneburg and other Hanseatic cities. A historical-musical tour through the year with young vocal and instrumental soloists from all over Europe.
