In the artist's words:

opia unites 6 musicians. In various constellations, they embark on a search for tonal diversity and intensity, rhythmic finesse and experimental joy of playing - Eva Leonie Fegers, recorders and vocals, Alina Loewenich, recorders, Fabio Kapeller, percussion, Friederike Vollert, recorders, Julia Willeitner, viols and Alexander Gergelyfi, historical keyboard instruments.

After several years of collaboration in various constellations, the musicians Fegers, Loewenich and Kapeller founded the ensemble in spring 2019, after which the musicians Alexander Gergelyfi, Friederike Volkert and Julia Willeitner joined the consort.

In its founding year, opia reached the final of the Tel Aviv Recorder Competition. Shortly afterwards, the consort won 2nd prize at the Concorso di Musica Antica "Maurizio Pratola", L'Aquila (ITA).

opia has given concerts in Austria, Germany, Italy and Israel and has performed at renowned festivals such as the Grafenegg Festival (AUT), the Innsbruck Early Music Festival (AUT), the Serenades of the Brucknerhaus Linz (AUT), the Shakespeare Festival at the Globe TheaterNeuss (DEU) and the Hohenloher Kultursommer (DEU). The musicians have also taken part in several productions for the radio stations Ö1 and BR-Klassik.

Their CD production as you like it. was funded by Bank Austria as part of the wemakeit. crowdfunding in 2022. The CD was released by ARS Produktion in 2023.

The focus of the ensemble is on the lively interpretation, recomposition and improvisation of music from the late Middle Ages, Renaissance and early Baroque.
