The Heinrich Schütz Music Festival 2024 is titled ‘untamed.creative. feminine’ and focuses on female artists, especially from the 17th century, on female singers, instrumentalists and composers, searches for traces of female art and music promotion and at the same time wants to focus on contemporary female artists - as performers, scholars and composers.
Artist in residence is the up-and-coming vocal ensemble Ælbgut, which will not only present itself as an expert formation for early music, but will also premiere a commissioned work by composer Annette Schlünz (*1964) together with CONTINUUM. Other guests will include Laila Salome Fischer and the ensemble Il Giratempo, Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johansen with the Armonio Tributo Concort, the Johann Rosenmüller Ensemble under the direction of the cornettist Arno Paduch, the ensemble Sjaella, the gambist Hille Perl and other renowned artists and ensembles.
