On three consecutive days, the Freiraum cultural association, in cooperation with the Leogang Mining and Gothic Museum, offers lovers of contemporary and early music the finest listening pleasure in a chamber music setting. The six concerts take place in the Thurnhaus of the Leogang Mining and Gothic Museum, in the Leogang show mine and in the St Anna Chapel in Hütten.
The chamber music festival will be opened on Friday in the Leogang Mining and Gothic Museum by the Lautten Compagney from Berlin, one of the most renowned and creative German baroque ensembles. On Saturday evening, the flute trio VIVID Consort will bring the Schaubwerkwerk Leogang back to life with its sounds from the Middle Ages to Renaissance and contemporary music. Afterwards, the Viennese formation VIVID Consort with Barbara Konrad and Klaus Lang will take to the stage at the Leogang Mining and Gothic Museum. Flute and voice meet baroque violin and organ in this world premiere. Another premiere in the museum's Thurnhaus: the Lautten Compagney Berlin will perform a concert together with VIVID Consort in an atmospheric setting. The lutenist Hubert Hoffmann will create a very special atmosphere late at night in St Anne's Chapel - an evening full of mystical sounds and new early music. The chamber music festival concludes on Sunday in the Mining and Gothic Museum with Barbara Konrad and Klaus Lang performing ‘Rosenkranzsonaten’. The fifteen rosary sonatas by H.I.F. Biber, which musically depict the most important events of Mary, are among the most impressive creations of Baroque music.
Director Anni Haitzmann on the musical weekend: ‘The “Chamber Music in Hütten” festival is now taking place here in Leogang for the first time following last year's cancellation due to the coronavirus. We are looking forward to six wonderful concerts in a great atmosphere and to many enthusiastic chamber music lovers!’
