Afterwork Concerts: Declassifying the Classics

Eventfrom October 18, 2023 until April 24, 2024

On Wednesdays, we enjoy a concert after work. For the next few months, on a Wednesday at 6 PM, our ‘Declassifying the classics’ researchers invite you to a concert at the historical Koetshuis in Ghent. The theme? “Varied repeats”, a practice at the heart of what it meant to be a composer-performer in Mozart’s time. Registration is required, but attendance is free. We look forward to welcoming you to an extraordinary series of concerts!

Dcc Final

Embellishing works of M. Corrette, C.P.E. Bach, and J.G. Eckard by Vera Plosila, Anastasios & Orestis Zafeiropoulos

Date: 6 PM, October 18, 2023

Location: Korte Meer 20A, 9000 Ghent

In this opening concert of the 2023-2024 Declassifying the Classics series, we are proposing a chamber music programme around a 1786 Andreas Stein piano, which acts as both solo and continuo. We will perform works of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach with traverso, Michel Corrette with violoncello, and Johann Gottfried Eckard, exploring connections between the authors and their music, informed by our practice.

Luca Montebugnoli & Laura Adriani

La bande de Gluck

Accompanied Piano Music in Revolutionary Paris

Luca Montebugnoli (piano) and Laura Andriani (violin) explore links with Christoph Willibald Gluck’s operas in the accompanied piano music of Jean-Louis Adam, Jean-Frédéric Edelmann, and Daniel Steibelt. Playing a 1791 Pascal Taskin square piano, freshly restored by Pianos Maene (Ruiselede), they bring to life pre- and post-revolutionary repertoire from the Parisian salon, alternating original music for piano and violin with arrangements.
