About this concert
With the Sanssouci Palace, Frederick the Great established his own Eden in Potsdam. Surrounded by a terraced garden that is actually a vineyard, the king created a haven for philosophy and music. ĀRT HOUSE 17 enters the enchanting park of Sanssouci to the music of Graun, Quantz, Bach and Gluck in a music theatre performance around the complex figure of Frederick, with a surprising touch of commedia dell'arte.

About the performers
ĀRT HOUSE 17 is a new ensemble led by Michael Hell. In addition to the use of historical instruments, the ensemble believes it is important to do justice to the broader context in which the music was performed. The central question here is: what does music have to say today.
Harpsichordist and recorder virtuoso Michael Hell is professor of harpsichord and basso continuo at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. His extensive concert activities as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra leader have taken him through all of Europe, America, China and Japan. After ten years as one of two musical leaders of Neue Hofkapelle Graz, he decided to start a new group: ĀRT HOUSE 17, which combines the different genres of art even more deeply.
