Seggauer Castle Matinees - N. Mirković, M. Ambrosini, M. Coşkun, R. Catalá

"At the Threshold, Falling Music Boundaries" The wonderful voice of Nataša and the three virtuoso instrumentalists will invite the audience to accompany them as "border crossers" through the program: well-known arias by Henry Purcell or G. F. Handel, performed in their original form first – or afterwards – will emerge in a new dimension. Old songs or familiar melodies will be presented differently, leading to improvisations... but the umbilical cord to the original is always connected, the essence always present. The audience will become werewolves while listening – with the difference: at the end of the transformation, those present will have become wiser, richer, and even more beautiful! Nataša Mirković She describes herself as a Vocal Artist between rock and baroque, is a composer, arranger, and one of the most fascinating voices of our time. Her great versatility has also been recognized in Hollywood: composer Gabriel Yared invited her to sing the title song for Angelina Jolie's directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey" and to contribute her musical talent to Terry George's film "The Promise."
