Baroque Sound Pearls in an Intimate Concert Format: Ikutaro Igarashi in Düsseldorf
With Pearls of the Baroque, the TheaterLabor TraumGesicht invites you to a finely drawn solo concert for traverso flute on the stage Campus Golzheim. On November 22, 2026, rarely played works by Jacques Martin Hotteterre-Le Romain, Michel Blavet, François Couperin, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Johann Sebastian Bach will resonate – interpreted by Ikutaro Igarashi, who shapes the baroque repertoire with breath, precision, and poetic tension.
An Evening that Quietly Enlarges the Space
The fascination of this concert lies in the reduction. On this afternoon, a single traverso flute carries the entire dramatic arc – and it is precisely from this that the special live atmosphere emerges, allowing baroque solo works to resonate so immediately. In the long phrases, in the finely balanced embellishments, and in the almost duet-like polyphony, a concert experience unfolds that hovers between intimacy and inner movement.
Old Music with Fine Tension
The selection of the program shows the entire sophistication of historical performance practice: Hotteterre and Blavet represent elegant French lines, Couperin stands for acoustic nobility, Telemann for inventive mobility, and Bach for architectural depth. Ikutaro Igarashi connects these works into a concentrated stage performance, where timbres, articulation, and breath control take over the actual narrative. The result is not a museum retrospective, but living chamber music with immediate presence.
A Place for Focused Listening
The TheaterLabor TraumGesicht in Düsseldorf provides the suitable framework for this solo concert: a manageable, almost chamber music-like venue where every detail becomes audible. The official directions refer to the address Georg-Glock-Straße 15 on Campus Golzheim; furthermore, the venue offers largely barrier-free access, as well as information on arrival, underground parking, and public transport via the Theodor-Heuss-Brücke stop. This environment enhances the closeness between the audience and the instrument, making the evening feel particularly immediate.
A Solo Recital with Fine Handwriting
Ikutaro Igarashi is reported by the organizer to be active not only as a soloist but also in chamber music and larger ensembles. This stylistic flexibility also shapes the performance in Düsseldorf: The traverso flute is at the center, but through the formulation of the phrases, dynamics, and the interplay of tension and calm, a multifaceted listening experience is created. Those who love old music will experience a concentrated journey through baroque expressive worlds that sound close, elegant, and surprisingly modern.
Conclusion
Pearls of the Baroque promises a stylish Sunday afternoon full of fine nuances, historical depth, and musical elegance. Those who want to be touched by the sound language of the traverso flute should experience this solo concert live and discover the baroque masterpieces in their full proximity.
