AYRE II: Early Music Remixed

What would the music of Bach sound like if he were alive today?

Erato Ensemble examines that question on their highly anticipated AYRE II concert on May 26.

The first half of the programme features renaissance and baroque works in their original forms. Then Erato turns tradition on its ear by presenting the same works re-imagined by hand-picked contemporary composers.

Lets do the time warp again!

A sequel to Eratos acclaimed 2014 concert AYRE, this is an event four years in the making. Eratos musicians, the cream of Vancouvers musical scene, are known for stretching the boundaries of art song and chamber music. With this adventurous concert, they travel back in time, and then bring the past back into the future.

Bach: ich habe genug. Remixed by Michael Park
