Chamber Music Festival: Monuments

Sa., 08.08.2026 from 19:30 o'clock

In the Minoriten Saal Graz, Bach's piano concertos resonate with harpsichord and grand piano, played by Vaterl and Gulda, refined, clear, and full of vibrant depth.

Cathedrals, monuments, big lines: This is exactly what the evening “Monuments” at the Chamber Music Festival in Graz is all about. Johann Sebastian Bach's piano concertos take center stage in the Minoritensaal Graz and showcase how powerful, clear, and lively this music still sounds today.

For the festival anniversary, Irina Vaterl and Paul Gulda will perform three of these works together on harpsichord and piano. This creates an interplay that is dense, delicate, and full of movement. With Oberton+, the evening gets an additional chamber music color that makes Bach's music particularly accessible in this setting.

The Minoritensaal is perfectly suited with its calm, focused atmosphere, making the concert a harmonious cultural evening in Styria. Those who appreciate music with weight, form, and inner tension will not find loud effects here, but sound with attitude. This is precisely what makes “Monuments” so appealing: familiar works open up new spaces when two keyboard instruments come together, and an ensemble like Oberton+ carries the lines.

The concert takes place on August 8 and sets a strong accent of Bach, space, and the present in the festival summer. Tickets are bookable online. An evening for all those seeking fine concert moments in Graz and wishing to discover the Graz Region musically as well.
