Performing on period instruments, ZAREK aim to capture the joy and musical exchange amongst the artists, connecting with the music, each other, the audience, places, and ideas. The ‘Bs’ are Dieterich Buxtehude and Johann Sebastian Bach, two composers whose cross-pollination led to the flowering of a style which defines German music of the High Baroque. Bach once walked almost 300 kilometres to meet the Danish Buxtehude, one of his key influences, and hear him perform. The ‘Bees’ connection to this programme is symbolic, ZAREK recognising the harmony of the beehive and the vibrations through which they communicate. Find out more in the programme as the harmony of the beehive, the geometry of the honeycomb, and the vibrational dance are mirrored in the counterpoint and melodic invention of these two composers’ music. Rebecca Harris, violin Jan Zahourek, viola da gamba Oliver John Ruthven, harpsichord ZAREK Trio is supported by the Continuo Foundation.
