Together with his historic wind ensemble field music , he took the audience into the world of the English oboen band of the 17th century, which played an indispensable role at the courtyards of Europe. The combination of baroque boe, baroque pet, recorder and historical percussion delighted the audience and offered a unique insight into the little -known repertoire of these instruments.

The last autumn concert pulled the audience entitled "Madonna, these men!" to Italy, where Georg Friedrich Handel created his Italian cantatas. The soloist Roberta Interizzi impressed with her performance and took those present on an emotional journey through the topics of love, from falling in love to infidelity.
