When the church space itself becomes the stage

This creates that special live atmosphere for a festival format in a sacred space, making every detail audible: reverberation, breath, articulation, and the fine synchronization between voices and instruments.

Ensemble CONTINUUM: intelligent orchestration instead of routine

Ensemble CONTINUUM is not a rigid collective but an open concept around the multi-award-winning harpsichordist Elina Albach, who became familiar with early music early on and is in demand internationally. This artistic signature stands for original ensembles, sonic flexibility, and an orchestration that does not preserve historical music in a museum-like manner but thinks it anew in a vibrant way.
