Piano

The young Latvian, born in Riga in 1997, is a particularly brightly shining jewel from Markus Schirmer's forge of talent. With self-confident style and brilliant technique, she penetrates works of the classical period as well as contemporary music. She celebrated a memorable appearance at the Styriarte in 2020 with the premiere of Corona-Meditation.

Choir

Masters rarely fall from the sky. Camerata Styria has achieved this rare feat under Sebastian Meixner's direction. Since its first concerts in 2020, the year it was founded, the young choir has delighted audiences with the splendour of its sound and dynamic richness.

Choir direction

The music teacher and computer scientist, whose main instrument is the piano, has a golden touch for leading groups of people in song. He proves this as co-founder of the youth choir nota bene as well as with his brand new ensemble, the Camerata Styria, which he formed from former members of the Landesjugendchor Cantanima.

Love Songs in the form of the Viennese waltz

“A house stands apart on the Danube’s wide shore, a rosy lass lives there according to lore.“

When Brahms wrote his most beautiful Love Songs Opus 52, he inevitably chose the form of the Viennese waltz. Even he, the “cool” musician from Northern Germany, could not resist singing the praises of the pretty young women of Austria with a “hot” 3/4. His friend Eduard Hanslick ironically remarked that Vienna seduced Brahms into committing a “waltzing deadly sin”. While the singers of the Camerata Styria revel in the “Love Songs”, two pianists waltz in four hands.

The performance lasts 60-70 minutes without an interval.
