Event programme

Chat with ensemble Nova Schola Labacensis (SI)

Artists’ message to visitors: Schubert's music always moves and uplifts the soul. Undoubtedly, it reaches its most intimate moment in the form of songs for solo voice as well as in some lyrically composed polyphonic songs for female voices with a gentle Romantic guitar accompaniment. They address us straight to the heart with the finely tuned singing verses of German-speaking Romantic poets. Lyrically conceived instrumental intermezzi with an inspiring interweaving of melodious recorder, gentle strings and Romantic guitar help them to create an unforgettable evening of Schubert's chamber music, a true Schubertiade.

The mission statement of the ensemble: With our concert, we want to preserve and testify for a high spiritual culture by performing timeless pearls of musical tradition in our spiritually poor times. These gems certainly include Schubert's well-known and lesser-known songs for solo voice as well as rare lyric polyphonic songs for female voices, which we want to revive in their intimate original form with gentle Romantic guitar accompaniment. At the same time, with a chamber ensemble consisting of recorder, strings, and Romantic guitar, we would also like to draw attention to the rarely performed instrumental works of some Romantic contemporaries, which once inspired Schubert himself.
