CapellaDIGITALWorkshop for Early Music

Brainstorming for new ideas together for the DIGITALWorkshop 🙂

For reasons that are clear to all of us, because of the Corona pandemic, and all of the limitations that accompany it, this year’s Capella de la Torre May Workshop will have to be conducted DIGITALLY.  It will be the very first ONLINE early music course known to us, and we are very excited and looking forward to it!   

Here you will find new information soon about how we will conduct the workshop. The dates remain the same: 29-31 May, 2020.

It is clear to all of us that we can’t replace the magical moments and the ensemble feel of making music together.  Therefore, for this very first CapellaDIGITAL workshop, we want to try out new paths, and also concentrate on aspects which perhaps don’t get as much time or attention at our usual courses.

We hope you will support us by taking part, and that you will have courage to enter into this new digital adventure with us!  We can’t wait!

Best wishes from,
Your Capellas

Cultural Tipp #3

Kultur-Tipp #3 – TEXT:
W. G. Sebald, Schwindel.Gefühle.

A puzzling literary text that drives the reader’s attention like a labyrinth in ever new and unexpected directions. Is the author part of his book or just a fictional character? “A fantastic book!” Is – and here he is absolutels not the only one – the opinion of our guest author Peter Schmucker.

REQUIEM: Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676)

Looking back, it seems like a miracle that we were able to finish recording our new CD “ERDE” (“EARTH”) at the end of February.  Here is an advance track for Easter 2020– we can’t wait to see you and make music for you again!
