In the concert series “Early Music in Schwabing” the Svapinga Consort regularly organizes new programs with music from four centuries. At our SEASON CONCERTS, the musicians of our ensemble give innovative concerts on historical instruments. The repertoire for the 2021/22 season ranges from Purcell to Mozart and beyond. Most of our seasonal concerts are combined with FAMILY CONCERTS: special programs that introduce young and old listeners to new instruments and music. The MUSICA POETICA CONCERTS feature professors and students of the Institute for Historical Performance Practice at the University of Music and Theater Munich in a unique selection of high-quality performances by up-and-coming young Munich professionals for early music. Let yourself be seduced by wonderful music and exciting discoveries, stay with us!
