Arrival

How does a society behave in times of political and religious upheaval?

In this concert, Johanna Bartz, who specializes in the Renaissance transverse flute, and her ensemble Astrophil & Stella, founded in Basel in 2016, explore the spirit of Elizabethan England - staged as a secret meeting between friends, where cheerful fantasies, Dowland's melancholy “Lachrimae” and politically sharp commentaries, disguised as seemingly harmless madrigals, are played in the safe setting of a musical gathering.

Under the reign of Elizabeth I, significant political reforms and economic developments in England were accompanied by a golden age of art and culture. At the same time, these years were overshadowed by political and religious unrest, fear and insecurity. Love poetry and madrigals satisfied the need for more intimate forms of expression and at the same time William Shakespeare gave the theater a heyday. And so Astrophil & Stella locate their program somewhere between this longing for intimacy, driven by unrest and the desire for revolution.
