About this concert

The Minorite Monastery in Vienna houses Manuscript XIV 726: a treasure trove of over a hundred violin sonatas. Stéphanie Paulet and Elisabeth Geiger delve into this beautiful collection, discovering not only works by famous names like Biber, Viviani, and Teubner, but also many anonymous gems. This phenomenal showcase pairs Baroque violin with the Baroque organ of TivoliVredenburg. As an audience member, you sit (or lie!) on stage to miss nothing.
