Die Liebe sieget alle Zeit

René Descartes wrote: >Hope is a disposition of the soul to persuade itself that what it desires will come to pass.< Inspired by this thought from the great French philosopher, Michi Gaigg has put together a program dedicated to the certainty that love conquers all inner turmoil, dispels fear, and fills us with confidence.
This concert marks the return to Melk of an ensemble that has been associated with the Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk for many years. Together with Dorothee Mields — a star of 17th- and 18th-century music — they will transform the Kolomanisaal on Whit Monday morning into a space where time can be forgotten.
