Recent prize winners at the prestigious Van Wassenaer Competition and the York International Young Artists Competition, Apollo’s Cabinet make their debut performance in St George’s Church with re:invention, an exciting and inventive programme, showcasing dazzling music from the Baroque, deconstructing it, reinterpreting it, and reassembling it with other works to create something new.

Composers like Handel, Bach, Telemann, and Quantz were often inspired by each other’s works and adopted melodies, bass lines, harmony, and texts for their own works in a similar or sometimes almost identical way. This continues to happen even today, as composers and artists take inspiration from the Baroque and rework it to be their own. re:invention highlights these links by not only showing similarities between music in the Baroque period but also by pairing modern songs with their Baroque roots.
