Father Armin Russi is prior and head of music at Mariastein Abbey, organist, church musician and expert in Gregorian chant.
Christoph Anzböck comes from Austria and studied music in Vienna and Basel. His artistic interests lie particularly in the field of vocal and instrumental music of the 17th and 18th centuries. He works as a harpsichordist, organist and ensemble leader and tries to perceive music in connection with other artistic forms and to allow it to speak in contemporary contexts. His studies with Jörg-Andreas Bötticher at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which he completed in 2018 with a Master of Arts, were particularly formative for him. He works with various European ensembles and festivals both as a chamber musician and as a soloist. He has been working as a church musician at Mariastein Monastery since January 2019.
