About
The vocal ensemble Cantando Admont, located in Graz since January 2019, unites outstanding singing personalities into one orchestra, combines the peculiarities of the individual voices into an expressive whole.
Always on the lookout for exceptional music outside of the "mainstream", the ensemble deals with the connection of old and new vocal music in order to discover new in old and to experience old in a new context. The artistic director Cordula Bürgi designs the concert programs and studies them with the ensemble. Together they look for specific tonalities, question the habits of singing technique and listening. The ensemble deals with the methods of composition and the associated tonal and stylistic requirements with openness and experimentation - a working process characterized by close cooperation with the composers, dealing with historical sources and the dialogue with experts.
