Académie baroque européenne d’Ambronay

Last night’s opening concert of this year’s edition of the Seviqc Brežice Festival was a success. The Festival was officially opened by the accomplished conductor Paul Agnew and the exquisite Academie baroque européenne d'Ambronay, performing Dido and Aeneas: Desmarest & Purcell. The ensemble of young artists impressed us with their brilliant singing and the exceptionally precise bravura of instrumentalists led by concert master Kinge Ujszaszi. The performance was met with enthusiasm and a thunderous ovation from the audience. We were greatly honoured with the presence of the French Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France, Her Excellency Marion Parada, director of the Directorate for Creativity with the Slovene Ministry of Culture Igor Teršar, member of the Slovene parliament Igor Zorčič, and mayor of Brežice Ivan Molan. The concert was broadcast live by Radio Ars.
