Narrated Music: Bach comes alive in Gelsenkirchen
On November 18, 2026, the baroque ensemble caterva musica invites you to the concert event Narrated Music in the glass hall of Schloss Horst. Starting at 7:30 PM, an atmospheric concert experience will unfold, where instruments tell stories of passion, tension, virtuosity, and motion without words.
When instruments speak to each other
The focus is on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The program connects the Violin Concerto in A minor, the Double Concerto for two violins, a concerto for oboe and violin, as well as the 1st Orchestral Suite. The violin changes roles: it shines as a virtuosic soloist, encounters a second violin in a musical dialogue, and finally responds to the unique timbre of the oboe.
Baroque music full of movement and contrast
caterva musica is dedicated to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries, working with historical instruments or carefully reconstructed replicas. This gives the sound a characteristic color: clear articulation, lively dynamics, and a direct appeal that grants fresh energy to the baroque compositions.
With the 1st Orchestral Suite, the sound space finally opens up for the entire ensemble. Dance rhythms, changing colors, and precise synchronization merge into a dynamic stage performance. Between soloist virtuosity and orchestral balance, it becomes audible how differently Bach can shape musical ideas.
An ensemble with years of experience
Founded in 1998, the baroque orchestra caterva musica has developed numerous concert programs and performed works from the 17th and 18th centuries in varying formations. The musicians connect historical performance practice with a modern, vibrant approach, making the sound language of early music immediately tangible.
The ensemble's work has been recognized by the press for its virtuosity, versatility, and musical discoveries. In the glass hall of Schloss Horst, this expertise meets an intimate concert atmosphere where fine articulations, instrumental dialogues, and the audience's mood come across particularly directly.
Conclusion: Music that tells its own stories
Narrated Music appeals to both Bach connoisseurs and curious concert-goers who want to experience classical music from an immediate, pictorial perspective. The audience can expect a concentrated baroque concert with striking solo voices, colorful orchestration, and musical surprises. Those who want to see how violin, oboe, and orchestra become storytellers should not miss this evening live at Schloss Horst.
