Georg Danzer's producer and long-time companion Prof Blacky Schwarz wrote about this unusual project: “Vienna and Tyrol. Danzer and hackbrett. How does that fit together? To my surprise, very well. A thoroughbred musician and a male counterpart meet, and the connection is made... the Tyrolean Maria Ma, who brings the hackbrett from tradition into contemporary... popular music and... gives a new facet to the melodies of Georg Danzer... and the die-hard Viennese, Ulli Bäer, who has been a friend and musical companion of Georg Danzer for many years...”

The ensemble will consist of Maria Ma, current Rainhard Fendrich drummer Christian Einheller, and bassist Mischa Krausz (Andre Heller, Etta Scollo, Maria Bill,...) to form a trio ft. Ulli Bäer. The four musicians reinterpret songs that have a direct connection to Georg Danzer or come from his pen, including songs that in the past often stood in the shadow of the big Danzer hits, such as the ghost track from “13 schmutzige Lieder.”

The connection between Danzer and Bäer is multifaceted. Ulli Bäer was the guitarist in Georg Danzer's band for 14 years, recorded several albums with him, wrote the title “Nua da Noa is wirklich frei” for the CD “Große Dinge,” co-founded the trio “Danzer – Bäer – Baum,” and was the conductor of the legendary band “Austria 3.” Completely new is the unusual sound with hackbrett arrangements by Maria Ma. She has developed a distinctive playing style on the hackbrett. Her unique, highly musical pioneering spirit is reflected not least in the fact that she manages to integrate the hackbrett into pop music as if it were the most natural combination ever. In addition to her stage activities as a solo artist and with her own ensembles, she works as a studio and stage musician with Gert Steinbäcker, Schiffkowitz (STS), Christian Kolonovits, SCURDIA, Markus Schirmer, Ina Regen, and many others.

Enjoy the diversity of jazz, whether with swinging, bluesy, or Latin American styles. Note! Accompanied by a 5-member band, the choir and soloist present a vibrant program in a dynamic interplay! Let yourself be inspired by the experience of centuries-old and simultaneously cutting-edge music from 3 continents, shaped by American gospels, passionate rhythms from Latin America, and the blues that invigorates and makes one want to dance.

The members of Paddy Murphy have wholeheartedly dedicated themselves to the high cultural asset of Irish & Celtic Folk Rock.

For 15 years now, the band has been bringing their modern version of traditional Irish and Celtic music to the stages of Central Europe, captivating audiences with their intense blend of punk rock grooves and harmonious folk melodies. The five Upper Austrians exude a wealth of impressively authentic Irish joie de vivre.

Powerful rock anthems about homesickness, the struggle for freedom, whiskey, and Guinness alternate with dramatic instrumental pieces (“Jigs and Reels”) and moving ballads. Banjo, mandolin, and fiddle pay tribute to life and the rebellious spirit of the green island, spiced up with electric guitar, bass, and drums.

The fast tempo, unbridled joy of playing, and energy of the band make it almost impossible to resist the infectious zest for life. Paddy Murphy conquers the audience in a storm! Revelry, shouting, and partying in checkered pants and kilts is a given!

Wiener Schmäh, Upper Austrian humor, and Tyrolean entertainment. A triple jackpot for every cabaret fan! When these three masters of language take the stage, one can expect a lot. Together they have received all the major cabaret awards that Austria has to offer. And the three passionate cabaret artists prove in this program that they deserve these accolades. Because they ignite a true firework of punchlines! They excel both together and with solo performances. And they do so in the most diverse ways.

Wolf Gruber acts as a passionate entertainer who captivates his audience with a lot of self-irony, honesty, and zest for life, making them happy! With his charmingly direct manner and his sonorous voice, he transforms any small stage into a cauldron of good cheer in the blink of an eye. Ludwig W. Müller also showcases his enormous versatility in this program, leaving the audience amazed, thoughtful, and of course, laughing. When the Upper Austrian with Tyrolean roots and now a chosen Munich resident slips from role to role, no eye remains dry. Niko Formanek perfectly complements his two stage partners. Niko tells, with a large portion of Wiener Schmäh, about what he does best: being a husband. And so he candidly chats with great joy about the embarrassments of married life. But also about how happy he is that his wife made him her social project decades ago. This trio is both brilliant and unique. And it guarantees sore laughing muscles throughout the German-speaking area.

An evening with music and songs by Jewish musicians and composers: Bob Dylan, Carole King, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Amy Winehouse, Benny Goodman, Barbara Streisand, Lou Reed, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, George Gershwin, Stan Getz, Leonard Bernstein, Randy Newman, Irving Berlin ...
The list of Jewish artists who have significantly shaped and influenced popular music in the 20th century is long. In the program "Music From The Stars Of David", some songs and compositions by these artists will now be presented in a new musical guise. They can be experienced here for the first time in the "Klezmer Sound". There are no distorted electric guitars, synthesizers, or drum machines to be heard, but rather elements of Jewish music from Eastern and Southeastern Europe are predominant and will be merged with the well-known songs and instrumental pieces into a newly sounding unity. This is accomplished by a band overflowing with joy of playing and virtuosity, and a singer who is at home in all genres of popular music. Whether Viennese songs, pop, soul, or musical – Tini Kainrath dances with ease and perfection across the most diverse genres. "Music From The Stars Of David" is a joyful celebration, but every song may be played with a tear in the eye.

Tini Kainrath - vocals
Maciej Golebiowski - clarinets
Alexander Shevchenko - accordion
Christoph Petschina - double bass
Peter Rosmanith - percussion
