less is more

Located between chamber music and orchestra, the Carinthian-based ensemble minui, consisting of five strings and four wind instruments, has been dedicated to the musical possibilities for large chamber music ensembles with elegance and sophistication since its foundation in 2016. While the program initially consisted of simple reductions of large orchestral works, opera music gradually became the great passion of the ensemble minui. The sophisticated arrangements of the clarinettist Stefan Potzmann provide the starting point. Homogeneous and balanced, the nine versatile orchestra musicians offer previously unheard and sound-differentiated perspectives on large-scale opera works, reduced to what is essential for them:
