Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Dutch Recorder Orchestra Praetorius.
Telemann concerts with special appearance of Marion Verbruggen
In March 2010 Marion Verbruggen and Recorder Ensemble Praetorius will jointly host a series of concerts where music by Georg Philip Telemann will be performed. During his lifetime, Telemann was the most famous composer and musician of Germany. Besides opera and church music, his extensive oeuvre contains a large collection (over a 1000) of instrumental works, both chamber and orchestra music. Unfortunately, only a small part remains today.
During Telemann’s active period, the recorder was an extremely popular musical instrument. Most recorder players are raised with his famous sonatas for treble recorder and basso continuo. Telemann also used the recorder in many of his orchestral suites and concertos. One of his most famous works is the suite in A minor for treble recorder, strings and basso continuo, where the recorder can be heart in all its aspects: virtuoso, dramatic, lyrical, comical, pastoral.
Marion Verbruggen (1950) started her education at the Amsterdam Conservatory and graduated cum laude from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Her solo-performances in North America, Japan, Africa, Australia and Europe have earned her an international reputation as an extraordinary virtuoso and technically dazzling musician, who can make a recorder sound both sensual and expressive. Her prizes include the Nicolai Prize for the Performances of Contemporary Dutch Music, the Erwin Bodky Award for Early Music, and she won the first International Recorder Competition in Bruges. She collaborated with prestigious ensembles, including Musica Antiqua Köln and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. She gives master classes and workshops throughout the world.
Performances will be given on March 12th and 28th.
