Intro

La Cetra da Camera - Chamber music with musicians from La Cetra Basel in the Dorfkirche Kleinhüningen. Works by C.P.E. Bach, J. Quantz and others.

In autumn 2025, La Cetra's office will move from the center of Basel to the "Tonraum" on the banks of the meadow opposite Klybeck. For the first time, La Cetra's musicians will also be close by, as they can rehearse extensively and develop projects to their heart's content at the same location. Five minutes' walk away from this modern mix of industry, traffic, working-class suburbia and music, which stimulates creative processes, is a pretty green oasis with the pretty village church of Kleinhüningen, the only baroque church in Basel with its characteristic onion dome!

And indeed, this original location has already ignited the creative spark in us, the inspiration for a new baroque project: "La Cetra da Camera". Four times a year, in the fall, winter, spring and summer, various groups from La Cetra perform chamber music in the small church, a genre that is rarely performed in an intimate setting. The concerts take place on a Saturday at 5.00 pm, followed by a cozy aperitif.

In April, however, we travel to Sanssouci and the time of Frederick the Great, where the flattering, warm sound of the wooden transverse flute is of course at the center of the action. Compositions by C.P.E. Bach, Joachim Quantz, Johann Gottlieb Janitsch and Fortunato Riedel will be played under the title Quadri de Sanssouci, followed by a cozy aperitif.

Artists:

Karel Valter - Traverso

Georg Fritz - oboe

Eva Saladin - violin & viola

Jonathan Pešek - cello

Arianna Radaelli - harpsichord
