Dunedin Consort brings the radiant energy and lyrical grace of the German Baroque to Govan, showcasing trio sonatas, virtuosic solos, and bold improvisatory style from the 17th century.
This deeply expressive programme travels from the intricate counterpoint of Buxtehude to the meditative spirituality of Biber’s Rosary Sonata.
