Shows

Five magnificent wind soloists take us on a journey from Schloss Pöllau Pöllau Castle through the myth of Pan and his nymph Syrinx.

Content

Morgendliche Wanderung

The god Pan cuts his flute from the reed that the nymph Syrinx has just turned herself into. The Styriarte tells the story of this ancient myth that recurs in all pastoral music at the place where it happened, a reed-lined pond. This is also exactly what Britten had in mind for his Metamophorses for solo oboe – an open-air sound in the midst of nature. The audience walks to the magical places where water and land, music and myth meet.
