Fulminant success for Monteverdi's L'Orfeo and Madrigals!

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

This semester, it has now evolved into a wonderful, interdisciplinary project involving the departments of voice, early music, strings, winds, plucked instruments, music theory, and musicology. On the one hand, a series of lectures and workshops was offered; 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 on January 12 and 13, 2024, in the Grand Hall of the Rudolf Steiner House.

In addition, Prof. Peter Holtslag, one of the world’s most renowned recorder and flauto traverso virtuosos: “A project like this—and the fact that it was interdisciplinary—is a beacon for the HfMT! It would be wonderful if such projects could continue to take place in the future!”
