Herrenchiemsee Festspiele announce programme 2013 (December 2012)

The Herrenchiemsee Festival has announced its programme for 2013. Under the motto ‘Baroque Fantasies’ the programme features the radiant courtly music of Versailles as well as some acts of homage to the Baroque by later generations. From 16 to 28 July 2013 you can hear some great and pioneering manifestations of Baroque music: German church cantatas, Corelli’s church sonatas and Bach’s concertos but also Mozart’s arrangement of Handel’s oratorio ‘The Messiah’ or Mendelssohn’s ‘Lobgesang’.
