Baroque Music Between Storm and Silence in Eggisried

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Erich Schickling Foundation in Eggisried near Ottobeuren invites you to a special concert evening. The Cappella della Lettera connects music from the 17th and 18th centuries with a moderated introduction, making historical sound worlds directly experienceable.

Original Sound with Recorder, Harpsichord, and Baroque Cello

Andreas Kammenos will guide the program as recorder player and moderator. Together with Carina Mattes on harpsichord and Aris Kammenos on baroque cello, he unfolds a chamber music ensemble that places the characteristic sound of the Baroque era at the center. Historically resonant instruments, precise synchronization, and nuanced articulation shape the concert experience.

Vivaldi's Storm and the Language of the Baroque

The highlight is Antonio Vivaldi's Flute Concerto La tempesta di mare. The musical storm painting alludes to an era full of breakthroughs, crises, and turning points. The program is supplemented by works from Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel, François Couperin, and other contemporaries. The music tells of passion, movement, and that calm which can arise after a fierce inner or outer storm.

Introduction Before the Concert

Already at 4:00 PM, the musicians will provide an introduction to the program and the instruments used. This offers visitors knowledgeable access to compositions, timbres, and performance practices. The concert itself begins at 5:00 PM and is expected to last until 7:00 PM.

Music in the Special Ambience of the Schickling Foundation

In the atmosphere of the Eggisried estate, the fine acoustics of chamber music instruments meet a focused audience mood. Recorder, harpsichord, and baroque cello make the evening appear transparent, dynamic, and expressive.
