Ensemble

The Early Music Ensemble is committed to the original spirit of its repertoire, which consists of works from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, and offers its audiences the opportunity to immerse themselves in the aesthetic delicacy of the time by using period instruments.

Viola da Gamba & Conductor

There is no early music fan who does not know the name Jordi Savall. There is no award that the "Ambassador of the European Union for Cultural Dialogue" has not won in the course of his world career. So it is all the more enjoyable that the Catalan, born in 1941, has been one of the Styriarte's closest and most loyal friends for decades.

Actor

In addition to his major roles in film and on stage, the star actor from Salzburg also devotes himself intensively to music - whether as a piano-playing performer at his home theatre in the Josefstadt or in musical readings, which he organises together with Konstantin Wecker, Gidon Kremer or the Rheinische Philharmonie.

in the footsteps of the traveller Ibn Battuta

Abu Abdallah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, a Berber from Morocco, went on a pilgrimage to Mecca in the 14th century. Afterwards, instead of returning home, he travelled halfway round the world, curious and seeking adventure. Today it is a matter of conjecture whether his famous travel journal is chiefly an imposture, consisting of fake news. However, of one thing there is no doubt: it is fantastic literature. Jordi Savall and his large ensemble follow in the footsteps of the traveller, creating a sumptuous sound, expansive and amicable, as like Ibn Battuta himself.
