From Beethoven to Jandl – on a musical journey

At his annual summer recital, Rudolf Buchbinder, honorary member of the Carinthian Summer Festival, will play Beethoven's Piano Sonatas No. 8 Pathétique and No. 14 Moonlight Sonata , as well as Schumann's Symphonic Etudes Op. 13 ✨

The moon and the longing for distant lands were also themes in " The Sister of the Brush" : In the picturesque atmosphere of Ossiach Abbey Church, Georg Nigl, accompanied by Olga Pashchenko on the fortepiano, performed songs by Schubert and Beethoven. Birgit Minichmayr read texts by Maria Lassnig.

When I go through bush and branch
Break on restricted trail,
If I'm so far, so free,
It wants to break my heart in two.

Johann Gabriel Seidl, Contradiction

On our Music Hikes III and IV, we truly ventured through the undergrowth. Melissa Coleman and Maria Gstättner led us to the geographical center of Carinthia in Arriach, and trombonist Bertl Mütter accompanied us with inspiration from Ernst Jandl across the island in Lake Faak. ✨
