Birgit Minichmayr

Schauspielerin

From her first acting engagements at the Burgtheater, the Linz-born actress returned to Vienna via Berlin, Munich and Hamburg. The actress, who was awarded the Nestroy Theatre Prize, also enjoyed great popularity in her role as the love affair in the play “Everyman” at the Salzburg Festival. She has already written several song lyrics with Campino, the singer of the German band "Die Toten Hosen".

The Unicorn Ensemble

Ensemble

The wondrous world of sound of this ensemble, founded in 1991, stretches from the Middle Ages to the early Renaissance. At its core, it consists of top-class specialists in long-forgotten playing styles and musical traditions who bring their profound knowledge of the ancient to life with irrepressible joy in playing and the highest art of improvisation.

Michael Posch

recorders

The Carinthian, trained in Vienna and Trossingen, belongs to the first squad of Austrian recorder players. With a variety of ensembles, including the Concentus Musicus, he plays especially the main baroque field of recorder literature, but has also rendered outstanding services to modern music. Tours and guest performances take him halfway around the world.

Birgit Minichmayr jogs our memories, as he reads with his customary relish the most beautiful scenes from Cervantes’ Baroque novel. Michael Posch and his Unicorn Ensemble provide the authentic sound of 17th-century Spain, the last bastion of the noble knights and their faithful squires.
