About the Concert

Dresden and baroque music go together about as closely as the Dresdner Kreuzchor and our orchestra. And so the two have joined forces to open the Dresden City Festival with excerpts from baroque works. As always, open air on the Schlossplatz. And "with timpani and trumpets", as befits the festive occasion!
