Musical passion. That nicely sums up the spirit of the “Janoska Style”, with which the Janoska Ensemble has shot to international fame in no time – and certainly not just because of the consummate mastery of its instruments.

Ondrej Janoska plays on the Carlo Ferdinando Landolfi ca. 1760 generously on loan from the Goh Family Collection.

The festival theme “Metamorphoses” refers to a central principle of music history: transformation based on tradition. Each era has taken up the legacy of its predecessors, developed it further, and transformed it into new forms.

The Janoska Ensemble consciously continues this tradition. In their interpretation of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven, they combine the highest level of instrumental mastery with improvisational creativity.

In doing so, they preserve the substance of the works while opening up new perspectives for the listener. Metamorphosis appears here as a respectful continuation of a living musical tradition.
