Together with a horn quartet led by the renowned horn player Marc Gruber and the Schubert expert Paul Sturm on the fortepiano, a companion from a time with the Windsbacher Knabenchor, as well as a string ensemble, Sonat Vox present a compilation of selected romantic choral movements by composers such as Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner and Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Sonat Vox illuminate motifs such as friendship, love, closeness to home and nature, but also address their opposites: longing, separation, loneliness and loss.
