Baroque Jukebox – A Kamishibai Concert for Children and Families

The concert programme Baroque Jukebox offers a rich and colourful selection of Baroque pieces, guiding the audience through diverse musical landscapes of 17th- and 18th-century Europe. From the dance rhythms of the Italian Bergamasca by Marco Uccellini to the lively sounds of Spring by Antonio Vivaldi and the famous Hallelujah from Handel’s Messiah, listeners will experience both tender lyrical moments and uplifting, powerful highlights. The programme also features more serene and meditative works, such as the Musette by Johann Sebastian Bach and the timeless English folk song Greensleeves. Included are also the well-known Ciaccona by Tarquinio Merula, the gentle Canon in D major by Johann Pachelbel, and the majestic Prelude from the Te Deum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier – recognised by many as the Eurovision fanfare. Special attention is given to early Baroque composers such as Girolamo Frescobaldi and Henry Purcell, whose music paved the way for later Baroque masters. The programme is designed to appeal to audiences of all ages – from lovers of early music to the youngest listeners who are just discovering it.
