Night music in Eggenberg

A musical stroll by moonlight.

The Styriarte invites you to Eggenberg Palace on the longest day of the year. The performance centres around the full moon, which will appear in the night sky over Graz at the end of the evening. The audience strolls through the palace gardens to listen to night music by Mozart, Glenn Miller and Tárrega before coming together in the Planet Hall for the most beautiful moon Lieder of the Romantic era. Marie-Claude Chappuis, who gave an unforgettable performance as Idamante in Harnoncourt‘s Idomeneo in Graz, is accompanied by the silvery tones of the fortepiano, played by Florian Birsak.

The finest sense of sound and artistic mastery characterise the interplay of this sworn quartet, which is made up of established soloists and chamber musicians. With their almost inexhaustible palette of colours, they celebrate a symbiosis of classical and jazz, of pop and contemporary music.
