ChatGPT:A Celebration for Archduke Karl II at His Castle

Als Erzherzog Karl II. anno 1590 mit gerade erst 50 Jahren in Graz verstarb, hinterließ er seinem ältesten Sohn ein wohlgeordnetes Gemeinwesen, eine blühende Hofkultur und eine von italienischen Musikern geprägte Hofkapelle. All dies sollte Erzherzog Ferdinand dereinst als Kaiser mit nach Wien nehmen, doch unter seinem Vater stand noch Graz uneingeschränkt im Zentrum aller Neuerungen. Dieses glänzendste Kapitel in der Geschichte der Grazer Burg erzählt die Styriarte am Ort des Geschehens mit einem wunderbaren Panorama aus Liedern, Tanzmusik und Texten, geistlichen Werken und weltlicher Geselligkeit.

Capella Helvetica

They once revitalised cities and shaped the cultural image of Switzerland during the Renaissance: the Swiss town pipers, which the historical ensemble Capella Helvetica takes as its musical model. Shawm, tabor and dulcian: the colourful variety of sounds that shaped everyday life 500 years ago is dusted off by the virtuoso bridge builders and poured into entertaining concert events.

Familiarising us all sensitively with historical soundscapes is the greatest interest of the trained cornettist and recorder player. Katharina Haun gives special resonance to Habsburg music in captivating concerts as well as in an educational and scientific context. With the Swiss wind ensemble Capella Helvetica, she creates virtuoso journeys through time on the international stage.
