25 Jahre La Cetra

• 18. Oct. 2024 at 00:00 o'clock - 20. Oct. at 00:00 o'clock

Since its foundation, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel has aimed to make early music accessible to today's audiences in contemporary interpretations. La Cetra is praised for its special enthusiasm and energy. The Basel orchestra has quickly positioned itself among the world's top baroque ensembles. Today, the ensemble, which specializes in music of the 17th and 18th centuries, enjoys both international concert successes and great critical acclaim for its recordings. Andrea Marcon, the orchestra's artistic director, is an internationally renowned expert in early music. The ensemble has already been nominated for a Grammy, is regularly invited to perform at major international music festivals in Switzerland and abroad and gives highly successful concerts every season in the most prestigious concert halls in Switzerland and Europe, including the Stadtcasino Basel, LAC Lugano, Tonhalle Zurich, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Theater an der Wien, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Philharmonie de Paris. The members of the orchestra are masters of their instruments and frequently perform as soloists.

Since the 2015/16 season, the concert series "La Cetra in Basel" has been one of the cornerstones of the cultural landscape of Basel and north-western Switzerland, offering its home audience excellent concerts with outstanding soloists and varied, distinctive programs. In addition to its core activities, La Cetra is also involved in educational work.

The 25th anniversary in the 2024/25 season will be duly celebrated: In addition to the regular concerts, a big celebratory weekend will take place from October 18-20, 2024 under the motto "una festa barocca". In addition to top-class concerts, La Cetra will be holding a unique participatory orchestra project with amateur musicians aged 12-99 in Basel. La Cetra is supported by a circle of friends and counts the Canton of Basel-Stadt, the Ricola company and various foundations among its sponsors.
