It all began around 17 years ago with a dream: Prof. Mark Tucker (vocals) had the idea of performing this work, which is particularly close to his heart, with HfMT students.

This semester, it has now become a wonderful, interdisciplinary project involving the vocal, early music, strings, wind, plucked instruments, music theory and musicology departments. On the one hand, a series of lectures and workshops were offered, and on the other, the musicians rehearsed diligently for months.

Under the inspiring direction of Prof. Mark Tucker, Prof. Isolde Kittel-Zerer and Catharina Lühr, the students surpassed themselves and presented a breathtaking, beautiful production in the Great Hall of the Rudolf Steiner Haus on January 12 and 13, 2024.

In addition Prof. Peter Holtslagone of the most internationally renowned recorder and flauto traverso virtuosos: "A project like this - and the fact that it took place across disciplines - is a beacon for the HfMT! It would be wonderful if such projects could also take place in the future!"
