Cantarmonie / Capella anarasa

What's it about?

Cantarmonie - a new choir idea. The selected choir from Upper Carinthia and East Tyrol performs choral music with professional guidance. In every community, there are good musicians and good singers. Often, these individuals are versatilely involved in village life, from the church choir (if still existing) to musical morning and evening entertainment, offering a lot. The idea of the "Cantarmonie" association is to utilize these talents and this wealth of experience and bring them together regionally. Therefore, the association founders came together and considered how to promote our local singing talents. It quickly became clear that there must be an offer that brings together both young talents and long-serving voices and challenges and promotes them through selected literature. The two artistic directors, Gernot Kacetl and Alois Wendlinger, include suitable literature from all styles and eras in the repertoire. Motivated singers from almost all parts of Upper Carinthia and East Tyrol now come together to exchange ideas about sophisticated choral literature and to study it, guided by expert choir directors. The chairman of the Cantarmonie association - Florian Mattersberger - is convinced that the collaboration of so many beautiful voices, from so many different valleys and villages, is simply wonderful. 1-2 projects with the Cantarmonie ensemble are carried out annually in the region.
