Don't Miss Award Winning NZ Countertenor Austin Haynes With NZ Barok!
Discover
the magic of Neapolitan baroque music. Bursting with melodic
invention and delivered with the utmost passion, NZ
Barok’s electrifying strings are coupled with the opulent
vocal acrobatics of award-winning countertenor Austin Haynes
in this unforgettable musical journey.
Featuring music by rarely heard composers such as Porpora, Durante, Broschi, Sarro and the more familiar Scarlatti, NZ Barok deliver the delights of Neapolitan late-baroque to New Zealand audiences in this very special concert series. The Neapolitan school of music dominated the entire musical scene in Europe during the baroque period. Although the Neapolitan masters laid the foundation for classical music and produced some of the most beautiful music ever written, only a fraction of their masterpieces are known and performed today. NZ Barok is committed to bringing this music to life, using historic instruments and playing styles.
NZ Barok thanks Dame Jenny Gibbs and Friends of NZ Barok for their support.
