New Kapellmeister brings a breath of fresh air to the music of the Wilten Abbey

In an exciting turn for the music scene in Wilten, Laurent Wehrsdorf will now work as a Stifts-Kapellmeister. The 26-year-old comes into the footsteps of his predecessors and brings fresh ideas to enrich the musical tradition of the abbey.

Wehrsdorf, which is known for his innovative approach, plans to particularly promote the Gregorian choral. This time -honored music form will play a central role in the monastery courtyard and is intended to address a broader public. Another highlight of his vision is the introduction of its own women's scola. This should not only contribute to the musical diversity, but also strengthen the voices of women in the church music area and move into the spotlight.
