Soprano

The freshness and expressiveness of her singing, combined with exceptional acting skills, predestine the 1997-born Viennese for opera. Her stunning Zerlina was a highlight of the semi-concert "Don Giovanni in Nöten" at the Styriarte 2020. Her repertoire already ranges from Handel to Humperdinck.

Miriam Feuersinger

Sopran0

The Austrian soprano Miriam Feuersinger devotes her great love to the broad spectrum of sacred music from the Baroque to the late Romantic period. She is one of the leading sopranos in the field of German sacred Baroque music by now.

William Shelton

Countertenor

The French countertenor began his musical training at the age of eight and later studied singing, horn, organ, music theory, chamber music and orchestra. In addition to this comprehensive education and an international career as a singer, the child prodigy also holds degrees in physics and chemistry.

Martin Platz

Tenor

As a permanent member of the opera ensemble of the Staatstheater Nürnberg, the tenor has already taken on many prestigious roles, such as in operas by Mozart and Wagner. As a Lied singer he has much experience in works by Schubert. Bach is also close to Martin Platz’ heart, who has particularily devoted himself to his oratorios.

Matthias Winckhler

Bass-baritone

The bass-baritone from Munich studied at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and was an ensemble member of the Lower Saxony State Opera in Hanover. Matthias Winckhler inspires not only in magnificent opera houses, but also on the stages of renowned festivals, such as the Salzburg Festival.

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.

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.

Styriarte Festspiel-Orchester

Orchestra

Styriarte's orchestral "Supergroup" is made up of changing international star guests and musicians from the first-class fund of the Recreation orchestra, depending on need and occasion. The orchestra's tuning and choice of instruments follow the historical requirements of the works performed.

Jordi Savall

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.

the country turns into a concert hall

Die ORF Steiermark-Klangwolke ist ein Fixpunkt im steirischen Kulturgeschehen: Nach den erfolgreichen ORF-Übertragungen von 14 Styriarte-Aufführungen in den letzten Jahren soll auch heuer wieder die gesamte Steiermark in einen großen Konzertsaal verwandelt werden.

Ein Höhepunkt der heurigen Styriarte ist der Konzertabend „Te deum“. Wer immer vor dem Fernseher durch Europa reist, kennt diese Musik aus den Live-Übertragungen der Eurovision: Das Präludium zum „Te deum“ von Charpentier ist seit 1954 die Fanfare der europäischen Rundfunkunion.

Dirigent Jordi Savall versammelt am Samstag, 9. Juli, in der Pfarrkirche Stainz Musiker:innen aus ganz Europa um sich und lässt das berühmte „Te deum“ sowie Johann Sebastian Bachs „Magnificat“ in glänzendem Licht erstrahlen − mit einem herausragenden Solist:innenensemble, dem Arnold Schoenberg-Chor und dem Styriarte Festspiel-Orchester.

Der ORF Steiermark sendet den Konzertabend ab 21.00 Uhr auf Radio Steiermark, ORF III zeigt das Konzert zeitgleich österreichweit im Fernsehen.

Machen auch Sie mit und lassen Sie so die Steiermark zu einem einzigen großen Konzertsaal werden.
Hier können Sie die Klangwolke erleben!
