Chamber Music Festival: Air champêtre

Air champêtre leads into the summer refectory of Stift Rein and creates a fine arc from France to the Romanticism of the Schumanns. The song recital with 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 that is precisely where the concert begins: with bird calls and breezes, with delicate colors, with music that captures attention. Additionally, works that open the path from Gabriel Fauré to Robert and Clara Schumann bring different sound worlds into conversation.

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 art song and nature imagery come together in Styria. Those searching for culture around Graz will discover a concert with depth, beautiful balance, and strong local connection.

This date is also a fitting occasion for an excursion to the Graz Region: Stift Rein, the surroundings of Graz, and the special tranquility of the house support the evening. A concert for everyone who appreciates chamber music closeness, good voices, and poetic programs. Between the monastery complex, garden view, and proximity to Graz, an evening of music, history, and landscape quietly intertwines.

Tickets are available online.
