Neue Hofkapelle Graz
We musicians of the Neue Hofkapelle Graz make music on period instruments and have set ourselves the goal of bringing early music closer to people today in the context of its time. We want to touch people and create moments that resonate in everyday life. Located in Styria, we make music authentically and work with enthusiasm on what’s close to our hearts. We want to preserve both enriching traditions and leave constricting traditionalisms behind us with joy.
From 2010 to 2020, the Neue Hofkapelle Graz was under the artistic double direction of Lucia Froihofer and Michael Hell. In 2021, a new management team was formed around concertmaster Lucia Froihofer with cellist Peter Trefflinger, bassoonist Christine Gnigler and oboist Ana Inés Feola.
The heart of our work is our own subscription concert series in Graz, which we have been running since 2011 and which has become an established part of the Styrian cultural scene.
In addition to regular performances at the styriarte in Graz, we have toured throughout Europe and performed at festivals such as the Cologne Early Music Festival, Musica Viva Osnabrück, Händel-Festspiele Halle, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci or the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht.
