Ārt House 17

Ensemble

Diving deep into historical music and its history(s): That is the mission of the still young Graz-based ensemble Ārt House 17. To this end, Michael Hell and Georg Kroneis have gathered around them some of the best specialists in their field. Their repertoire ranges from Pergolesi to Mozart and Offenbach.

Michael Hell

Direction, Harpsichord, Recorder

Michael Hell, born in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a virtuoso on both the recorder and the harpsichord whose reputation extends far beyond his adopted home of Graz. He is also a leading expert in basso continuo and historical performance practice, who knows how to convey the rules and history of his art with infectious enthusiasm.

Content

Baroque music at it's best

Ārt House 17 is the new Baroque ensemble of all-round genius Michael Hell from Graz, harpsichord and recorder player and creator of concerts with ever-new ideas for concerts. In the Planetensaal at Eggenberg Palace he performs with brilliance music from Venice and Hamburg: Vivaldi’s most challenging recorder concertos and Telemann’s ironic heroic music form a pleasurable partnership. Laughter is guaranteed when Hell makes fun of the “knight with the sorry face” in Telemann’s music or portrays Socrates’ vindictive wife, the notorious Xanthippe.
