As part of the Murau Organ Week, there will be a concert with organ portative by Walter Ofner and singing by vocalists from the EMDV ensemble in the St. Anna cemetery church on Sunday, August 11, 2024. A variety of possibilities of the portative will be presented in the program of this concert evening and supplemented with vocal polyphony of the 15th and 16th centuries with a Marian focus. As a counterpart to contemporary portative music, a vocal world premiere will also be performed.
Welcome to the Murau Organ Week 2024!
Once again this year, the Murau Organ Week welcomes you with a varied program. The program ranges from the Middle Ages to the present day, from portatives to modern organs. This also includes the innovations in the program: For the first time, a portative as well as lute and theorbo are represented in the program as chamber music partner instruments of the organ.
With the Annakirche and St. Leonhard Church in Murau, there are also two new attractive venues. St. Leonhard is home to one of the oldest organs in Styria, which will be made available to interested organists after its presentation - only with timely binding registration, see program! - will be made available for performance.
Four concerts, an organ mass, a workshop lecture on jazz and popular music and three organ tours await you this week, offering you exclusive insights into the fascinating organ landscape of the town and region of Murau.
Manfred Novak, artistic director of the Murau Organ Week, looks forward to welcoming you to these special sound spaces!
