Arnold Schoenberg Chor

Choir

The differentiation and plasticity with which Erwin Ortner's hand-picked ensemble of voices realises choral works from all epochs is unrivalled. The Arnold Schoenberg Choir, founded in 1972 and a regular guest at the Styriarte festival for decades, has won countless prizes - including the Grammy in 2002 for a St Matthew Passion under Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

Erwin Ortner

Direction

The doyen of Austrian choral music has been closely associated with the Styriarte festival for decades - also thanks to the congenial, "Grammy"- and "Echo"-award-winning collaboration of his Arnold Schoenberg Choir with Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Erwin Ortner is also Hofkapellmeister in Vienna and was the rector of the Vienna University of Music for many years.

Content

A performance to delight the hearts

The brilliant, rich sound of the Arnold Schoenberg Choir fills the vaulted ceiling of the Styrian “St Peter’s Cathedral” in Pöllau. Erwin Ortner and his choir have been Styriarte heroes since the very start. In 2023 they celebrate the mystical music of Estonian Arvo Pärt with as expertly and majestically as the great motets of the Bach family. A performance to delight the hearts of all choir singers.
