Tours | Biber Festival
From 21 February to 22 February Netherlands / Amsterdam, Utrecht
A titan of a violin virtuoso who turned music history upside down: if Heinrich Biber (1644-1704) doesn't deserve his own mini-festival, who does? With beautiful concerts, a Scratch and a lecture in one day, we delve into the universe of this master experimenter. From his revolutionary Rosary Sonatas, in which he tunes the violin differently each time, to two soul-stirring requiems: Ars Antiqua Austria and Vox Luminis - Biber specialists both - sketch the fascinating portrait of a man who fused technical genius and emotional depth into groundbreaking baroque.
