Palais Attems Vocal Academy

A new format for the Styriarte: the Palais Attems Vocal Academy. No less a person than Dame Emma Kirby passes on her vast experience in authentic Baroque singing to young singers to bring a 400-year-old masterpiece, Heinrich Schütz’s Cantiones Sacrae, to life. In 1625 the 30-Years War was into its seventh year when Schütz dedicated his Latin motets to “ the most illustrious Prince Anton Ulrich, lord of Krumau and Eggenberg”: a vision of peace between the warring parties written by the greatest Protestant musician of his time for the councillor of the Catholic Emperor.
