Stylus Phantasticus
A musical oasis between wars
Stylus Phantasticus is a singular musical offer that depicts a certain historical moment full of social and artistic happenings. The impact of the 30 years’ War left Europe in a really convulse state. As always, music is a perfect picture of the moment that humankind is going through. So, this is an opportunity to travel back to that difficult and creative moment of history, being able to appreciate how different composers as Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Rosenmüller, Reincken, Muffat and the great genius Bach captured this historical moment into their works. They represent a great display of musical and technical resources, a way of looking for the inner voice of each composer, a chance to show the personal creative universe through string instruments, that can become the most angelical and the most passionate one. The formation of two violins, viola da gamba and harpsichord will draw a rich painting of the German scenery culminating with the figure of Bach, the huge ocean where all the rivers flow.
Celje, Old Counts' Mansion
This most beautiful Renaissance building in the town was built between 1580 and 1603 on the southern side of the city walls. At the beginning of the 17th century, it was further embellished by arched hallways, and during the 1926 restoration its aesthetic value was increased by the discovery of the famous Celje ceiling.
