Content

Part two of the Attems saga:

Country Tour

A holiday at Vorau Abbey: the Attems come to visit, bringing festive gifts for the Canon, their uncle Franz. The Palais Attems Court Orchestra plays masterpieces by Antonio Vivaldi and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi at Vespers, and the servants sing touching garden songs. The day is to end with a lively garden party. This is how Ignaz Maria und Marianne Attems hope to win over their strict uncle, who has just been appointed to the Imperial Reform Commission by Maria Theresia. However, Uncle Franz has not the slightest intention of obliging his fickle Graz relatives. He has other plans.

Her studies at the Mozarteum and the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna were followed by numerous international appearances, for example at the Opéra national de Montpellier, the Vienna Musikverein and the Deutsches Theater Berlin.

Dietrich Henschel

Bariton

The stylistic range of the Berlin baritone, born in 1967, extends from Monteverdi to contemporary premieres. In between are huge roles such as Mozart's Don Giovanni or Busoni's Doktor Faust, which won him a Grammy in 2001. In addition to his engagements at Europe's great theatres, Dietrich Henschel's devotion is also to the Lied.

HIB.art.chor

Under the direction of Maria Fürntratt, the singers of the HIB.art.chor, consisting of students of the HIB Graz-Liebenau, have been offered comprehensive vocal training since 1995. In numerous international performances from Norway to South Africa and Shanghai to San Francisco, the choir's repertoire ranges from Austrian choral tradition to contemporary music.
