Il Giardino Armonico, one of Italy’s leading ensembles in historically informed performance, appears at the Kaisersaal of Stift Kremsmünster under the direction of its founder Giovanni Antonini. The programme is devoted to Venetian Renaissance and Baroque music, with works by Antonio Vivaldi, Tomaso Albinoni, Baldassare Galuppi, Giovanni Legrenzi and Dario Castello.
The concert also features Austrian countertenor Alois Mühlbacher, whose voice brings a distinctive theatrical and expressive dimension to a programme shaped by the colour, vitality and refinement of Venetian musical culture.
An introductory artist talk with Alois Mühlbacher and Giovanni Antonini, moderated by Rico Gulda, takes place at 6.00pm in the Apostelzimmer, subject to limited seating.
