Ensemble Castelkorn

Ensemble Castelkorn

Tapping feet, clicking heels, swirling skirts: with the dance music of Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, you imagine yourself in the blink of an eye at the court of Vienna, where dance is not a pastime but a form of conversation. Schmelzer's music is rhetoric made sound, with gavottes, gigues, and ciacconas as coded gestures, that are full of character and meaning. Ensemble Castelkorn tackles the repertoire with verve and daring – everyone onto the dancefloor!
