1607 ensemble
for early new music
1607 ensemble for early & new music
With 1607 ensemble, forgotten works celebrate a spectacular comeback in concerts, on CDs and even in the cinema.
With a world-class lineup including mezzosoprano Maria Weiss, lutenist Luca Pianca, Monika Toth on the violin and Wolfgang Mitterer with composition and electronics, to mention just a few, the result is a series of exceptional musical moments.
Resonant musical landmarks are interpreted and immortalised on silver discs.
Our goal:
fortified by the energy of the long-established traditions of New Music, to open up a space for the new, while at the same time re-reading works of Early music with a mixture of care, courage and an open mind, taking new roads towards an authentic musical language.
Light-footed original sound
Founded by Maria Weiss, the ensemble plays music on original instruments with long-standing musical friends and colleagues.
The intention: to fulfill the highest artistic demands by exploring the existential layers of works in search of a distinctive musical language.
