April 17, the ensemble "PRACHT CONSORT" from sunny Odesa will perform ancient music in the Transcarpathian Regional Philharmonic. The ensemble consists of winners of international competitions Andriy Pracht (harpsichord), Olena Richter (soprano), Natalia Scriabina (mandolin) and Lyudmila Glebova (harpsichord). The musicians named their program "Ancient Instruments – Modern Drive" and presented it with great success in many cities of Ukraine. The concert will feature "La Bell Fyne" by an unknown author of 16th century (1521), three arias for voice with instrumental accompaniment by G. Caccini, two concertos for mandolin and basso continuo by A.Vivaldi, Suite D minor for harpsichord by H.Purcell, Cantata "Pastorella" for voice and instrumental accompaniment, "Venice Hermitage" for mandolin and harpsichord by T.Bedetti and Cantata №80 by Handel. The artists use in their performances Baroque instruments – old German harpsichord, baroque and Portuguese mandolins. And, of course, the most versatile instrument – the human voice.   The name of the ensemble "PRACHT CONSORT" means "great harmony". We have a good opportunity to hear it with our own ears. The concert starts at 17.00. The presenter Katerina KERECHANYN.
