September 10, 2018 – The 7th Korkyra Baroque Festival is in full swing on the island of Korcula, with a very international presence, including a great concert by the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra.
The cultural summer on Korcula lives on!
Day 7 of the 7th Korkyra Baroque Festival brought a spectacular performance from Scandinavia, as the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra took up temporary residence at St. Mark’s Cathedral on Friday night to pay homage to Bach in a rich programme entitled ‘Bach and the Baltic Sea’.
Photos and the full programme below. With almost a week to go of the festival, there is plenty to see and enjoy. Check out what still remains on the festival programme here.
