The program for Sounds & Clouds is based on recorder player Jeremias Schwarzer's Singing Garden project, first performed in 2011, which links recorder concertos by Vivaldi with a specially written new work by Toshio Hosokawa. One of today's leading Japanese composers, Hosokawa is known for his compositions based on Japanese folk music and adaptations of composers such as Bach, Handel and Ives. Here for the first time, he has written around existing music and the Holland Baroque Society and Schwarzer seamlessly pair the modern and the baroque.
