This profound experience is reflected in the music that is brought to life on this spring Sunday in the magnificent Fürstenzimmer at Seggau Castle.
Look forward to a musical journey full of love, hope, longing and baroque splendour.
This concert offers you the unique opportunity to experience baroque masterpieces in one of the most beautiful historical settings in Styria – Seggau Castle. Let yourself be enchanted and enjoy an unforgettable musical morning.
The castle tavern at Seggau Castle provides culinary delights with regional and seasonal specialities from southern Styria. On request, the dishes can be harmoniously rounded off with selected wines from the episcopal wine cellar.
Eight chellists W. Symphoniker
“Im Fluss”
Sunday, June 22nd, 2025 from 11:00 a.m.
at the Epsicopal Wine Callar Seggau Castle
Enjoy an extraordinary concert experience in the historic wine cellar of Seggau Castle. The 8 cellists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra invite you to a sonic adventure that you should not miss. Founded in 1980, the ensemble has premiered numerous works by renowned Austrian composers and delighted audiences in over 100 concerts in Austria and abroad. After a break, the group returned in 2005 with mostly new members and has been setting musical standards ever since.
Musical diversity and a unique sound space
Eight cellos on stage – that promises a concert of a special kind. This unique instrumentation makes it possible to explore a wide range of sound colours: from the radiant brilliance of the soprano to the powerful bass foundation. What is particularly impressive is how the ensemble uses the specific instrumentation to reveal hidden dimensions of supposedly well-known works. The faithful arrangements do not create any new sounds, but merely reduce doublings and adjust octave ranges.
An intimate chamber music experience
The homogeneous line-up of eight similar instruments opens up completely new listening perspectives for the audience. The solo interpretation of each individual voice lends the concert a profound, very personal chamber music intimacy. The impressive ‘cinemascope arrangement’ of the musicians challenges all the senses – you will need both ears!
Immerse yourself in a world full of harmonic depth and experience the 8 cellists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in the unique atmosphere of Seggau Castle in southern Styria.
The castle tavern at Seggau Castle will spoil you with culinary delights.
