In diesem mystischen Konzert wird die fast tausendjährige Musik Hildegard von Bingens im einzigartigen Ambiente der Villa for Forest zum Erklingen gebracht. Die deutsche Äbtissin und Universalgelehrte hinterließ zahlreiche Kompositionen und Schriften, die für ihre Zeit äußerst progressiv waren. In eigenen Arrangements für Nyckelharpa, Countertenor und Elektronik vereint Innova Early Music Hildegards mittelalterliche Musikästhetik mit modernen Klangexperimenten. Die bearbeiteten Aufnahmen verwickeln sich mit der Live-Performance zu meditativen Klängen – eine Einladung sich in dieser Zeitreise zu verlieren. Die Kraft von Hildegards Musik ist auch nach fast einem Jahrtausend noch überwältigend.
Innova Early Music
was founded in 2024 by Anna Jova (baroque violin/nyckelharpa) and Aleksandar Jova (countertenor/composer). The ensemble’s projects focus on innovative performance concepts for early music, ranging from music rediscovered through historical performance practice to new interpretations and immersive crossover elements of modern sound aesthetics. The projects ‘Viennese Songs of the High Baroque’ and ‘Hildegard in the Forest’ have been performed several times since 2024 in Austria, Germany and England, including the Baroque Festival Gotha, Early Music Series St. Ruprecht Vienna, Medieval Music in the Dales, Bockkeller/Wiener Volksliedwerk, and West Road Concert Hall Cambridge. In August 2026 they launched their new programme „Songs and Tunes from and Old English Pub“ in a sold-out concert in Vienna. 
Anna Jova
performs regularly with baroque violin and the nyckelharpa. She is specialized in medieval, baroque and folk music and performs in concerts and festivals across Europe (so far Austria, Germany, Latvia, Italy, Lithuania, Sweden, UK, Estonia, Hungary, Russia) and the US. In 2021 she published her first album Heimspielerei with her Duo Wiener Miniorchester, in 2024 an EP with the Folk trio Triga and recently her new album In Between including own compositions.
Aleksandar Jova

is a countertenor, composer and choir conductor. He is specialized in early music and contemporary music and performed many concerts as a soloist and an ensemble member. In his childhood he already started his intense education with the Wiltener Sängerknaben in Tyrol, performing and travelling the world with music. Recently he performed regularly in Cambridge with the Gonville & Caius choir and now also started composing for video games.
