New York – a sea of houses full of dens of vice and criminal hideouts. And in the middle of it all, an oasis of peace: the Brewster sisters' house. No one is turned away at their door. And Abby and Martha Brewster's tea times with quince jam, cookies, and homemade elderberry wine are famous. The pastor and the police often meet for a chat with the pious and charming ladies, who primarily care for their, well, somewhat eccentric nephew Teddy. Mortimer, Teddy's brother, and Elaine, the pastor's daughter, have also found their happiness here. Everything seems peaceful and blissful.

But on a dark and stormy evening, Mortimer searches through the window trunk in the house for important documents. And he stumbles upon the well-kept secret of his aunts, which nearly drives him insane. At the same time, a hulking masked figure enters their cozy home ...

Peter Wittenberg, who works, among others, at the Burgtheater, at the Linz State Theater, or at the Theater in der Josefstadt, senses with his comedy-tested ensemble the obscure undercurrents of sunny front gardens in this delightfully twisted classic that unleash the gradually naked madness.

Waltz Step and Polka Hit - Johann Strauss for Kids
A concert under thunder and lightning with Tritsch-Tratsch at the beautiful blue Danube for people aged 5 and up

Everything revolves around the lively music of the famous waltz and polka king Johann Strauss II, his brothers, and his father. Young audiences can look forward to some musical surprises.

For who has ever sung the "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka"? It's not difficult at all: "Busy as the bees, buzz, buzz..." it sounds in the big choir. Who has heard the cuckoo call of the "Krapfenwaldl-Polka" and then mimicked it? Who thinks of pizza rather than plucking strings when they hear the "Pizzicato-Polka," which Johann Strauss II came up with together with his brother Josef? Whose ears find the thunder too loud in the polka "Under Thunder and Lightning"? And who has ever danced a waltz to the melody of the "Beautiful Blue Danube"?

Marko Simsa will guide through the program with lively moderation and invites his audience to sing along and, of course, to dance!
Selection of pieces:
Radetzky March
Annen Polka
Worry-Free, Fast Polka
Letter Polka
Pizzicato Polka
Tritsch-Tratsch Polka In Krapfenwaldl, Polka
Under Thunder and Lightning, Polka
At the Beautiful Blue Danube, Waltz

The National Symphony Orchestra of the "Teleradio-Moldova" Society was founded in 1989.
Its members are outstanding musicians, graduates of the conservatories of Chișinău, Moldova, Odessa, Kyiv, Lviv, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.
The principal conductor and artistic director of the orchestra is composer Gh. Mustea, a folk artist and recipient of the State Prize.

On their grand anniversary tour, they not only bring decades of musical history but also a new musical director. Alexander Wurz leads the Egerländer tradition into the future with a fresh sound and his own signature. And even though the "Original Egerländer Musikanten" constantly reinvent themselves - the orchestra stands like few others for lived musical continuity, craftsmanship precision, and brass music at the highest level.

Since its founding by Ernst Mosch in 1956, the "Original Egerländer Musikanten" have made a name for themselves worldwide. Mosch shaped the typical, emotional, and at the same time swinging sound. Ernst Hutter led the orchestra for the last 25 years with his own arrangements and a new generation of soloists into the 21st century and paved the way for the current enthusiasm for brass music palpable in all generations with "his Egerländer," his persistence, and his visions. Now, with Alexander Wurz, the next step follows: The 39-year-old tenor horn player and conductor, who has been part of the orchestra for 15 years, was selected by Ernst Hutter as his successor. With him, the ensemble remains true to its line – while simultaneously being fully present in the here and now.

Wurz does what Mosch and Hutter did before him: to further develop the orchestra with a sense of tradition, set new impulses - and carry the music with passion into the future.
