Concert - Horizon Baroque

Horizon Baroque

The Horizon Baroque ensemble consists of Rachael Beesley, violin, Kate Clark, traverso, Kathryn Cok, harpsichord and Cassandra Luckhardt, viola da gamba. This time they have music by Telemann, Buxtehude, Rameau on their program.

The four members of the Horizon ensemble all grew up far away, in the New World, and left everything they knew to come to the Netherlands – to the Royal Conservatory of The Hague – out of love for early music.

For more than thirty years, their paths have met, diverged and converged again in shared performances of solo, chamber and symphonic repertoire from Schutz to Schubert, Buxtehude to Beethoven, in the Netherlands – where they all live at least part of the year – in the United States and Australia.

They have learned a lot from, and also contributed richly to, the vibrant musical and cultural scene of the Netherlands. They came at a time when there were virtually no women teaching at the Royal Conservatory.

In addition to their international performances, they now all teach at the Royal Conservatory and/or other courses in the Netherlands. And they return to share their experiences and skills with young musicians in their own countries.

Tickets are available at the door one half-hour before the concert.
