He is renowned—alongside his wife, Philippine Welser—as one of the most famous inhabitants of Ambras Castle and simultaneously its key influencer: Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol. In 1579, during the Venetian Carnival, he encountered the composer and organist Andrea Gabrieli. This encounter led to the dedication of the second book of madrigals for six voices, which was released shortly thereafter, dedicated to Archduke Ferdinand II.

The exquisite collection of secular love songs, later revived in numerous anthologies, unfortunately, Philippine Welser did not live to witness its performance. In the 2nd Ambras Castle Concert, the ensemble of the Innsbruck Court Music, led by Marian Polin, brings this selection to auditory life. Comprised of renowned specialists, the ensemble dedicates an evening at Ambras Castle entirely to love.
