The Stabat Mater by G.B. Pergolesi (1710–1736) is a sacred music work that can be counted among the absolute masterpieces of the Baroque period.
The text, written in medieval Latin, describes the sorrow of the Mother of Jesus at the foot of the cross, as well as the emotions of Christians faced with the sacrifice of the Redeemer and the suffering of the Virgin Mary.
The music, of the highest inspiration, was considered profoundly innovative at the time, to the extent that J.S. Bach himself created a German adaptation of it.
Even today, it remains one of the most beloved pieces among audiences and musicians, as it is profoundly moving for the uninitiated and rich in vibrant spirituality for believers.
The instrumentation includes two singers (soprano and alto), strings, and organ.
In the days before the feast of the liturgical year - Epiphany - Palm Sunday, Pentecost, Ascension, All Saints' Day and Immaculate Conception - the organ meditations take place in the Cathedral. A selection of texts and music for a more thorough preparation for the festivities.
Admission is free – take the opportunity to enjoy the music in a relaxed atmosphere. The event is organized by the Merano Tourist Office and provides a wonderful way to enrich your day culturally. We look forward to your attendance!
Traditional music for wind, classic, rock, pop and filmmusic.

“From the Deep” - deep vibrations from the earth can be felt everywhere. The bass forms the basis for symphonies and orchestras, not just for classical jazz bands. Although the instrument has often disappeared from music groups today, its sound remains present. Bottesini already pushed the double bass to its limits in classical music, and musicians such as Renaud Garcia Fons are continuing this development. But the bass simply does not stop at creative developments.
In this concert, this becomes particularly clear in two formations. Alessandro Fedrigo explores new worlds of sound with his digital instruments alone and is surprised and inspired by the unexpected results: Mutaforma. Baritube is completely different: Helga Plankensteiner, an experienced baritone saxophonist, chooses the tuba (Glauco Benedetti) as her low accompanist. Together with the percussive sounds of Daniele Patton, they immerse themselves in the deep sound spaces and explore every nuance ... partout!
Umberto Tozzi, a charismatic and creative singer-songwriter and musician, has become an icon of Italian music thanks to his timeless hits and has inspired entire generations. His concerts have filled the world's biggest music halls and attracted a large and loyal audience.
