SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2026, 3:00 PM ST. GEORGE'S PARISH CHURCH Virtuos Tour Baroque with Alois Mühlbacher Alois Mühlbacher, Countertenor Ensemble Castor Petra Samhaber-Eckhardt, Violin & Conductor It is not often that a musical prodigy can carry their artistic success into adulthood. The former soprano soloist and figurehead of the St. Florian Boys' Choir has become one of the leading countertenors of his generation, performing at the leading concert and opera houses in Central Europe. His clear and bright boyish voice has matured into an extremely flexible and nuanced countertenor, and the unique timbre of his voice is instantly recognizable. Selected sacred as well as virtuosic concert and opera arias by Handel and Vivaldi allow him to showcase his wide range of tonal colors with his distinctive voice. The Ensemble Castor is one of the leading institutions in historical performance practice – together with Alois Mühlbacher, they complete the contrasting program.
