Chamber Music Festival: Air champêtre

Air champêtre leads to the summer refectory of Stift Rein and creates a delicate connection from France to the Romanticism of the Schumanns. The song evening featuring tenor Valentino Blasina and pianist Irina Vaterl follows the image of nature not as a backdrop, but as sound, breath, and mood. Francis Poulenc gave his cycle the subtitle "Voices of Nature," and this is precisely where the concert begins: with birdsong and the whisper of the wind, with delicate colors, and with music that makes one sit up and take notice. Additionally, works that open the path from Gabriel Fauré to Robert and Clara Schumann engage in a dialogue between different sound worlds. The summer refectory of Stift Rein in Rein provides a fitting setting for the evening. The historic space feels bright, calm, and approachable. Thus, every word, every line of the piano, and every nuance of the voice can resonate. Air champêtre on August 21 makes audible how finely song art and the imagery of nature come together in Styria. Those seeking culture around Graz will discover a concert with depth, beautiful balance, and strong local relevance. This date also serves as a fitting occasion for an excursion to the Graz experience region: Stift Rein, the surrounding area of Graz, and the special tranquility of the house enhance the evening. A concert for all who appreciate the intimacy of chamber music, good voices, and poetic programs. Amidst the monastery complex, garden views, and proximity to Graz, an evening of music, history, and landscape unfolds, quietly bringing them together. Tickets are available online.
