On Monday, January 20 at 7.30 pm in the Johanneshaus an der Johanneskirche Heidelberg, the internationally renowned countertenor Franz Vitzthum and Markus Flaig on the accordion will perform music from a wide range of eras on the subject of war and peace of mind.
The program ranges from ornate Renaissance motets to works by the Baroque composers Johann Hildebrand, Johann Sebastian Bach and Henry Purcell to a setting of the Song of Songs by the American composer Prof. Joanne Metcalf. The special and, in the truest sense of the word, 'unheard of' aspect of this evening is that the accordion is used as a continuo instrument.

Franz Vitzthum and Markus Flaig have known and appreciated each other as fellow singers for many years, and they are particularly united by their love of language. Their many years of experience with so-called early music and their love of experimentation have now led to a completely new combination of sounds).
