Penthesilea Classics - our association
Karin Bonelli
Artistic director
Karin Bonelli thrives on being surrounded by an ocean of sound and the creative individuals who make it homogeneous. With this being the case, it is most fortunate that since 2012, she has been a member of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which creates its own singular harmonious ocean of tonality. She was the first woman to obtain a position in the wind section of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and with that, also in the Vienna Philharmonic.
Markus Kaar, MA
Commercial Manager
Markus Kaar is a musician and at the same time the economic and organizational brain of the Penthesilea Academy. Already at the age of 3 years his biggest wish was to become a musician - he fulfilled this wish by studying violoncello at the Anton Bruckner Private University and various concert tours. After graduating from high school, however, he decided to switch to the world of business and completed his bachelor's and master's degree at the University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna.
With his wide-ranging business knowledge and extensive professional experience in the areas of sales and marketing, as well as being the founder of an online music agency and an expert in the event and live music sector, he contributes his know-how to the planning and implementation of the Penthesilea Academy.
The Myth of Penthesilea
Penthesilea was the daughter of the legendary Amazon queen Otrere and Ares, the Olympian god of war. In the battle of Troy, Penthesilea and her female warriors came to the aid of the Trojans, who were besieged by the Greek army. She was severely wounded in battle by Achilles. When he removed Penthesilea’s helmet as she lay dying, he fell in love with her and regretted his action.
The legend was recounted in an epos as early as 750 BC, reappearing in Virgil’s Aeneid around 20 BC. In 1808 Heinrich von Kleist used the motif of the Amazon queen for his drama Penthesilea. This play was the basis of the symphonic poem Penthesilea by the composer Hugo Wolf, written around 1885, some of it in Traunkirchen. As his only completed orchestral work, it occupies a special position in Hugo Wolf’s oeuvre.
Thus, we are not only connected with Penthesilea through this special place, but we also consider
her our role model in terms of strength, courage and drive, all attributes expressing our vitality and
enabling us to turn our visions into reality.
