Festive Mass

A Mass, underscored by Mozart's music, is always a celebration. Wolfgang Kogert, the organ curator of the Carinthian Summer Festival, together with the vocal ensemble Company of Music under the direction of Johannes Hiemetsberger, brings this gem to life. For the Offertory, which musically accompanies the preparation of the gifts, the Australian-Austrian composer Tamara Friebel composed a work commissioned by the Carinthian Summer Festival. Friebel, who studied architecture and theology in addition to composition, masterfully understands how to make spaces resonate with sound.
