ĀRT HOUSE 17 & Friends

ĀRT HOUSE 17 is an ensemble conducted by Michael Hell. Besides using historical instruments, the ensemble considers it important to do justice to the broader context in which the music was performed. The central question here is: what does the music have to say today? ĀRT HOUSE 17 has been a guest at the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht several times in recent years with their music theatre performances such as Kaffeekantate and The Crocodile Bar. The ensemble also created the Utrechter Passion during Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2022.
