Event Description
Featuring acclaimed German soprano Dorothee Mields, this concert focuses on three musical friends in Johannes Voorhout’s painting Allegory of Friendship – Johann Reinken, Dietrich Buxtehude and Johann Thiele, whose music revitalised Hamburg as a center of music during the Thirty Year’s War. A free city sheltered from war, Hamburg became a refuge for many musicians and through its wealth established a vibrant musical scene. This concert’s program may encourage you to ‘step into’ the intimate scene being portrayed and relish music that was inspired by the stile nuovo of Italy. Fourth concert of Pacific Baroque Festival 2025.
"Soprano Dorothee Mields is an artist of the absolutely highest caliber and one who has an innate understanding of the music of the North-German Baroque. Her vocal instrument is flawless: pure and transparent in timbre, yet capable of the most subtle inflections and cultivated shadings. She can find both radiant sweetness and compelling emotional depth, attributes that are particularly important in a repertoire where small regional variations can imply notable harmonic differences." – Vancouver Classical Music
