Baroque Elegance, Fresh Energy: 2 x Philipp in the Small Concert Hall
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, Folkwang BAROCK invites you to a special concert afternoon in the Small Concert Hall of the Folkwang University of the Arts in Duisburg at 16:00. Under the title 2 x Philipp, works by Georg Philipp Telemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach will be on the program – two names that represent the sound world of the 18th century like few other duos.
Telemann and C.P.E. Bach: A Musical Tension Field
Georg Philipp Telemann was considered one of the leading German composers of the Baroque era and influenced an entire epoch with his church and instrumental works. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Telemann's godson, later developed a music as one of the most important representatives of the early Classical style that continues to resonate directly today, with surprising effects, clarity, and emotional depth. In this encounter, baroque inventiveness meets sensitive expression.
A Hall with Intimacy, Warmth, and Fine Acoustics
The Small Concert Hall at the Duisburg campus is renowned for its transparent sound image. About 150 burgundy upholstered chairs, a historic stucco ceiling, and the elegant spatial effect create an atmosphere where every detail becomes audible. It is precisely the music of Telemann and C.P.E. Bach that unfolds all its chamber music finesse here – precise, airy, and alive.
Folkwang BAROCK as a Stage for Stylistic Precision
