While Landerer headed the fortunes of the Bregenz Festival Choir from 2002 to 2006, the Chorakademie Vorarlberg was founded in 2008 and has not left an appearance since then, not even during the corona crisis to perform great works, such as krone.at reports .The oratorio tells the history of Alexander's victory of the big one, with singer Timotheus causing different human emotions with impressive songs.

musical flights and emotions
The work, dedicated to St. Cäcilia, the patron saint of music, celebrates the power of music by transforming Alexander's winning celebration into a passionate praise of art. With dramatic choir movements and subtle fluteoli, Handel pulls all musical registers. The audience in the fully occupied cultural stage and in the cathedral was given over two hours of beautiful music, which masterfully presented the Caribbean and soulful spectrum of compositions. Another highlight of the performance was the interaction of the Baroque Orchestra Concerto Stella Matutina, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and is known far beyond the borders of Vorarlberg.
