The closing concert of Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava's chamber series features trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth and Camerata Janáček under Pavel Doležal. The programme moves from Bach through a Classical concerto to French lyricism and Piazzolla's tango.

Programme: Johann Sebastian Bach - Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068; Jan Křtitel Jiří Neruda - Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major; Eduard Dřízga, Eda Driga - Little Suite for Strings; Iša Krejčí - Little Encore Suite; Lili Boulanger, arranged by Tine Thing Helseth - Nocturne; Nadia Boulanger, arranged by Tine Thing Helseth - Lux Aeterna; Astor Piazzolla, arranged by Tine Thing Helseth - Adiós Nonino.

Bach composed his Third Orchestral Suite around 1730 in Leipzig; it is especially known for its Air. Neruda's E-flat major concerto was written in the 1740s for the Dresden court orchestra and originally intended for horn. It is followed by Eduard Dřízga's 1974 Little Suite for Strings and Iša Krejčí's Little Encore Suite from 1967.

The finale includes an arrangement of Lili Boulanger's 1911 Nocturne, Nadia Boulanger's 1909 Lux aeterna and Adiós Nonino, written by Piazzolla in New York in 1959 in memory of his father.
