On Sunday, 26 July, the Herrenchiemsee Festspiele celebrated their final concert for this season on the Herreninsel in Bavarian lake Chiemsee.

The director of the festival Enoch zu Guttenberg conducted the choir Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern and the Orchestra of the KlangVerwaltung. Together they performed Robert Schumann’s rarely presented secular Oratorio “Das Paradies und die Peri”.

This piece with the same cast will also be performed on 30 July at the Rheingau Musik Festival in the Basilica of the monastery “Kloster Eberbach”. Please find here details of this performance with Enoch zu Guttenberg.
