About Diego Ares:
Diego Ares studied piano with Aleksandras Jurgelionis and Aldona Dvarionaitė. At the age of fourteen Pilar Cancio introduced him to the harpsichord. In 2002 he moved to Holland to work with Richard Egarr. Between 2004 and 2010 he studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. He perfected his technique with harpsichordists Carmen Schibli (disciple of Eta Harich-Schneider) and Genoveva Gálvez.

Ares has given recitals in Europe, Canada and Japan. He has recorded for Columna Música, Pan Classics and Harmonia Mundi. His recordings have received such awards as the Diapason d'Or (three times), “Choc” from Classica, “Maestro” from Pianiste, “Excepcional” from Scherzo, and the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik”. His most recent recording, Bach’s monumental Goldberg Variations, has been considered by several publications a substantial contribution to the work’s large discography (Scherzo, Qobuz, CdClassico.com, etc.).

Diego Ares has taught harpsichord, fortepiano and Basso Continuo at the Hochschule der Musik in Trossingen (Germany). Diego Ares teaches harpsichord at Geneva’s Conservatoire de Musique. ​

Concert - 4 Times Baroque

“Baroque is the New Modern!” according to the talents from Germany, 4 Times Baroque. Become a member and be the first informed of our events. If you are not yet a member of the Institut français d'Ecosse, we invite you to join. Already a member? Book your place early!

About 4 Times Baroque:
4 Times Baroque
Jan Nigges (recorder)
Jonas Zschenderlein (violin)
Karl Simko (cello)
Alexander von Heißen (harpsichord)

4 Times Baroque was founded in 2013 by the four young musicians Jan Nigges (recorder), Jonas Zschenderlein (violin), Karl Simko (cello) and Alexander von Heißen (harpsichord). Based in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) the quartet is one of the most exciting ensembles of the new generation of early music performers and has already been invited to well-known festivals and concert halls throughout Germany and Europe. The press described them as “popstars of the early music scene” and “four young shooting stars.“

As part of the Eeemerging program (Emerging European Ensembles), the quartet received support from several early music centres throughout Europe. Concerts and residencies had been organized in France, Poland, Latvia, Germany and Italy.

The quartet is dedicated to developing a close rapport with their audience, and not only through their musical performances: entertaining concert talks and discussions are conceived to provide musical and historical backdrop to their programs, and allow the public to stay up-to-date with the ensemble’s personal work. The musicians’ close friendship has carried over into their still-budding professional careers, and their unique rapport is palpable on stage and in their playing.

4 Times Baroque got invitations to famous Festivals in Germany as Rheingau Musik Festival, Thüringer Bachwochen, Oberstdorfer Musiksommer, Mozartfest Würzburg, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Händel Festspiele Göttingen, Festival d'Ambronay (France), Meraner Musikwochen (Italy), Mozarteum Salzburg (Austria). Highlights in 2020 include concerts in Istanbul, Edinburg, at the Telemann Festtage Magdeburg, Bachfest Leipzig and in Japan.

For their first CD “Caught in Italian Virtuosity” (Deutsche Harmonia Mundi / Sony) 4 Times Baroque was awarded in Oktober 2018 with the renowned “OPUS Klassik” Young Ensemble of the Year. The next CD which includes works from J.S. Bach and G.F. Telemann will be produced in this year.

German Cinema: The People vs Fritz Bauer (Der Staat Gegen Fritz Bauer)

The Institut français d'Ecosse will proudly be hosting screenings of contemporary German films in partnership with the Goethe Institut in Glasgow.

The film this week is The People vs Fritz Bauer (Der Staat Gegen Fritz Bauer) by Lars Kraume.

© Imdb

Synopsis:
Germany, 1957. Attorney General Fritz Bauer receives crucial evidence on the whereabouts of SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann. The lieutenant colonel, responsible for the mass deportation of the Jews, is allegedly hiding in Buenos Aires. Bauer, himself Jewish, has been trying to take Nazi crimes to court ever since his return from Danish exile. However, there has been no success so far due to the fierce German determination to repress its sinister past. Because of his distrust in the German justice system, Fritz Bauer contacts the Israeli secret service Mossad, and, by doing so, commits treason. Influential people would like to see Fritz Bauer finally rendered “harmless”. Denunciations, which even spill over into his private life, aspiring to establish his homosexuality and therefore a breach of Paragraph 175, threaten to wear him and his colleagues down. Lars Kraume’s political thriller draws from elements of melodrama, both to create an image of a German hero in the years following World War II, and to enrich and expand the character with facets that fictionalize him as an assailable individual.

Starring Burghart Klaussner, Ronald Zehrfeld, Sebastian Blomberg, Jörg Schüttauf and Lilith Stangenberg
