Musikdorf Ernen | Baroque concerts, jazz, readings
Overview
Intro
Wonderful baroque music with the top international ensemble Aernen Barock and first-class soloists, plus jazz concerts (Charl du Plessis Trio) and literary readings at "Queerlesen".
Baroque music is dance-like, melodious, sometimes dramatically emotional, sometimes full of thoughtful depth. The music of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and their contemporaries has been loved by a wide audience at Musikdorf Ernen for years. The reason for this is the Aernen Baroque Ensemble: it consists of some of the best baroque specialists in Europe and presents music by popular baroque composers, as well as works by little-known or unknown composers.
In addition, internationally renowned singers regularly make guest appearances at the Baroque Weeks; in 2026, the Scottish mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor and the Argentinian bass Nahuel Di Pierro will be performing.
There will also be jazz concerts with the Charl du Plessis Trio, one of the world's leading crossover ensembles. There will also be literary readings as part of the "Queer Reading" program.
