HEINRICH SCHÜTZ MUSIC FESTIVAL | Sound.World.Wisdom

6th - 15th of October 2023
Dresden | Gera | Bad Köstritz | Weißenfels | Zeitz

The Heinrich Schütz Music Festival is held under the motto "Klang.Welt.Wissen" (Sound.World.Wisdom) and asks questions about knowledge of the world, about human responsibility and conscience, about our constitution in the face of the challenges and dangers of the present. In the search for answers, the 17th century, so rich in upheavals and reorientations, can be a mirror whose reflection can help us to gain insights and knowledge. So let us discover together the knowledge of the world captured in sound in the works of Heinrich Schütz and his contemporaries!

Artist in Residence is the outstanding Ensemble Hamburger Ratsmusik under the direction of Simone Eckert.
You can also look forward to the Ensemble Weser-Renaissance Bremen under Manfred Cordes, Theatre of Voices, the Ensemble InAlto with Lambert Colson, La Capella Ducale and Musica Fiata Köln under the direction of Roland Wilson as well as other renowned artists and ensembles.
