The geographical location of the Brixen cathedral district has probably had geomantic significance since ancient times. It is likely to have been a place of power venerated in pre-Christian times, where sacred buildings were erected in the first post-Christian millennium. Centuries of Christian practice gave the architecturally wonderful buildings an additional powerful aura. The theme of the events in the cloister, the Church of Our Lady, St. John's Chapel and the cathedral is to draw attention to these original sources of strength and “holy places” in the Brixen cathedral district.

Antonín Dvorák's impressive Stabat Mater for soloists, choir and orchestra is probably the best-known of the Bohemian composer's sacred works. Dvorák's own painful experiences with the loss of three children are likely to have prompted his preoccupation with the suffering of the Mother of God under the cross of her son. The work is one of the most moving and successful sacred works in music. Performers in the cathedral are the Haydn Orchestra, the South Tyrolean Vocal Ensemble, the Gürzenich Choir Cologne and four South Tyrolean vocal soloists.

Federico Nuti's debut album “InFormal Setting” was released by HORA Records in September 2022 and earned the Tuscan pianist and composer second place in the “Miglior Nuovo Talento” category at “Top Jazz 2022” by “Musica Jazz”. Nuti is joined by four of the most exciting musicians of the new Italian generation: Francesco Panconesi (tenor saxophone), Jacopo Fagioli (trumpet), Amedeo Verniani (double bass) and Mattia Galeotti (drums). The line-up is reminiscent of a classical jazz quintet, but the music combines diverse contemporary styles of Afro-American and European origin. “InFormal Setting” stands for the balance between formal structures and spontaneous freedom, a space in which opposites merge to create new musical images.
