The season 2020—21 will be inaugurated by one of the most famous works in the history of music, Handel’s Messiah, and this “messianic” spirit pervades the dramaturgy of the whole concert series. The unconventional programme of the Advent concert will recreate the atmosphere of Italian Baroque Christmas and we shall celebrate the arrival of the New Year with Mozart’s Coronation Mass.

Marian themes are the focus of the February concert that brings together the music of famous students of the renowned Viennese kapellmeister Johann Joseph Fux. On Holy Thursday, we will have the chance to listen to an extraordinarily powerful setting of the Brockes-Passion by Georg Philipp Telemann. The season will close again with the topic of the Messiah, this time in the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach.
