Alfia Bakieva

Violin

Born in Novosibirsk, Russia, the multi-instrumentalist currently lives in Salzburg. Especially as a violinist, she impresses with her versatility and inspires with both Tatar music with her folk music ensemble Ekiyat and with the Argentinian tango orchestra Rascasuelos, and as a soloist in baroque music ensembles such as Jordi Savall's Concert des Nations.

Le Concert des Nations féminin

Orchester

Dieses neue musikalische „Ospedale“ des 21. Jahrhunderts soll dem Beispiel des Ensembles junger Sängerinnen und Musikerinnen des alten venezianischen folgen, indem es heute einen neuen ausschließlich für Frauen gedachten Treffpunkt schafft, der ein Ort des Studiums, der Perfektionierung und der Verbreitung eines Repertoires sein wird, das die Zeitspanne von der Epoche vor Vivaldi bis zum Beginn der Romantik umfasst.

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.

Yvonne Klamant

Story teller

Since 2016, Yvonne Klamant has been playing multifaceted roles at the Graz Opera and in the children's and youth theatre Next Liberty. In addition to the stage, visual art is the German actress's second home - she paints and draws by hand and digitally.

concertos for young women

Men are the heroes in Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”: sleepy shepherds and wild huntsmen, drunk farmers and high-spirited ice skaters. However, these violin concertos were played by women, the famous orchestra of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, to which Maestro Vivaldi was the only man granted access. The red-haired priest wrote his most famous concertos for young women who were named after their instruments because they were nameless orphans and foundlings. In dedicating his Vivaldi programme to them, Jordi Savall makes his Concert des Nations an exclusively female orchestra.
