Stella Jones & Kerstin Schütze

Be honest, coziness was yesterday. First the stress of gift-giving, then nothing but tinsel, and finally holiday stomachaches. It can be different!

Stella Jones sings more beautifully than an angel in church. Kerstin Schütze reads wonderfully quirky stories in coffee grounds and finds true poetry in candlelight. Of course, not everything that glitters is gold; cinnamon is far too expensive, and the Christmas goose is now vegan.

Where is this leading?

Clearly – to the castle. If you can't get in the mood here, only mulled wine under palm trees will help. But here, the Christ Child rarely comes alone...

We awaken your Christmas spirit with Austrian Christmas songs, American Christmas songs, and quirky to amusing texts by well-known writers: let yourself be surprised!

Kerstin Schütze, a seasoned speaker and radio producer who has lived in Vienna for over 20 years, produces radio plays, features, and literary programs for Austria's cultural broadcaster Ö1. She studied theater directing at the "Mozarteum" in Salzburg and also works as a screenwriter. Until 2024, she taught at the Max Reinhardt Seminar and recently lent her voice to a performance at Belvedere 21.

Stella Jones is known for her distinctive and powerful voice, which beautifully blends with soul and jazz elements. Her music is very sensitive yet powerful. Stella is not only a gifted soul and jazz singer but also a pianist, arranger, and composer. She has collaborated with greats like Gloria Gaynor and Chaka Khan; she is also known for her spectacular gospel concerts, one of which she will perform with us on November 28, 2026, at the castle!
