It is known that most of the late baroque music is about human emotions. This has given us many musical presentations of happiness, sadness, resentment and melancholy.

At the same time there is a large arsenal of music from this time that is about different sides of the human mind such as madness, hypochondria, restlessness, nightmares and mental disorders. This concert takes base in this repertoire.
