After last years sensational concert with L´Appeggiata in Bodø Cathedral where Raquel Andueza took the audience by storm, she returns again to Bodø with a new program at this years festival. With her she´s got Jesús Fernándes Baena on theorbe, and together they will perform a magnificent baroque program in Bodin Church.

Nordland Music Festival is very excited to have Andueza back to the festival with her own project. The programme, D’Amore e tormenti, has been a successfully recorded CD and is critically acclaimed. It will be a lovely experience, says the director at Nordland Music Festival André W. Larsen

The programme they will perform has the title D`Amore e tormenti, a concert which revolves around love poetry of the first Italian baroque. A programme that, taking the passion as a reference, develops as an authentic loving dialogue between both of them. The programme consists of music by Monteverdi, Merula and Strozzi m.fl.

The concert will be in Bodin Church Tuesday 7th of August at 9am
