Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Big Band Festival with the Dozent:innen-Konzert (Septett Bernadette) at the Zehnerhaus Bad Radkersburg!

Since its founding during the first Big Band Workshop in 2011, the goal has been clear: joy in making music. The Septett Bernadette presents a diverse repertoire, from jazz standards to originals and self-compositions - all in masterful arrangements. The exceptional interaction of the musicians makes every concert an experience. The band brings together some of the most renowned names in the Austrian jazz and big band scene: Wolfgang Schiefer, the festival's musical director, brings fresh ideas to the stage with his compositions and arrangements for big bands. Ingo Rieber, known throughout Europe, has worked with greats like Peter Herbert and Jeff Ballard. Gernot Strebl enriches the ensemble with experience from projects with the Lungau Big Band and Hubert von Goisern. Pianist Gunther Schuller combines technical skill with artistic passion, while Gerhard Steinrück delights with his experience from orchestras. Karlheinz Miklin brings an international flair with performances in South America and Eastern Europe, and Martin Wimmer impresses with versatility. Singer Ulrike Tropper rounds out the ensemble with her impressive voice.

Look forward to a concert experience that combines virtuosity, passion, and joy of playing – a musical highlight in the anniversary year of the Big Band Festival!
