The name Machreich stands not only for an invitation to active music-making and the economic success resulting from it. The agency’s founder and her colleagues dedicate themselves first and foremost to the unique artistic development of each of their singers. In an atmosphere of mutual trust and personal connection, individual projects can be conceived and inspiring constellations initiated. Intuition and discretion are the highest precepts for the work of a highly qualified team, which engages in its work with heart and mind.

“Art is not, after all, a pretty add-on – it is the umbilical cord which connects us to the divine; it guarantees our identity as humans.”
(Nikolaus Harnoncourt)

Four vocal stars and a favourite song pianist, well known to us all, who always has a few surprises up his sleeve, have agreed to celebrate the composer. Alongside several four-part pieces from his late works, everyone has been asked to offer their take on Haydn. This could range from the composer’s beautiful English canzonettas, his early songs or the cantata ‘Arianna a Naxos’ to Udo Jürgens, Elton John or Nina Hagen. We can look forward to an exciting and, at times, humorous start to the festival.
