Queen Sophie Charlotte Making Friends for Prussia
Keynote address: Prof. Dr. Daniel Tyradellis
Philosopher, curator & friendship researcher, Vice Director of the Helmholtz Centre for Cultural Technology
Music for the Muse Queen by Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Giuseppe Torelli, Georg Friedrich Händel, Attilio Ariosti, Giovanni Bononcini et al.
ACCADEMIA BIZANTINA
Ottavio Dantone harpsichord & musical director
She is educated, linguistically talented, musically gifted, and on top of that very charming: Prussia’s first Queen is a credit to the state. Sophie Charlotte – well-connected to Hanoverian culture networks – attracts free spirits to the court and sets them on the agenda. The Berlin Academy of the Sciences is a project she initiates with her friend Leibniz and her »Court of the Muses« will serve as example to her nephew Friedrich II. Word of her musical passion gets around, Ariosti and Bononcini compose for her, Corelli and Torelli dedicate works to her and even young Händel stops by. Outstanding Italian Baroque Ensemble Accademia Bizantina dedicate an Italian florilegium to the expert artist who was an art expert. Very much inspired by the Queen’s own gusto – only the very best will do!
