SALZKAMMERGUT 2024

Hubert von Goisern: Street music in the Capital of Culture Region

During the warm months, Hubert von Goisern will be sparking acoustic attacks in the Capital of Culture region, Salzkammergut 2024. He'll be appearing in each municipality with changing lineups and when the weather is dry the artists will march forth and play for about an hour at chosen locations in the region. So, prick up your ears and follow the sound. Details of the events will be given close to the time on Freies Radio Salzkammergut - as well as here and on Hubert's social media: Instagram and Facebook. Several of the appearances will be followed by a concert in the evening. The first of these dates are now on sale!

Summer evening concerts

"Acoustic attacks" from Hubert von Goisern

Bad Goisern. Having already made "acoustic attacks of a special kind" in Lauffen, Ebensee, Gosau and Bad Aussee, last Thursday Hubert von Goisern gave a summer evening cocncert together with the percussionist and marimba player Christoph Sietzen in the Stephaneum. Although just 31 years old, Luxembourger Christoph Sietzen (born in Salzburg) is already a marimba lecturer and percussion at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.

Together they mastered a very diverse programme in the Stephaneum. Aside from his accordion, Hubert also played instruments including a theremin, an electronic instrument that is played without touching it and can be heard in songs such as the Beach Boysclassic Good Vibrations. As befit the evening, there was yodelling and the audience confidently sang along to Hinter meiner Stadltür, Sietzen performed a lute suite by Johann Sebastian Bach on the marimba, and Hubert even had fun striking up his hit Brenna tuats guat from an improvisation. The audience thanked them with frenetic applause.

The hall at the Stephaneum has great significance for the soon-to-be 72-year-old (who doesn't look his age), especially since, as he said during the performance, he gave his first solo concert here - "my initiation and a turning point".

Two shows in in Bad Ischl

On Saturday, 27 July, "HvG" presents a summer evening concert with Kimyan Law at the Lehártheater, curtain up at 21:00 hrs. This concert was postponed from 8 June. Previously purchased tickets remain valid. This concert is already sold out though. But there's another chance: on Sunday, 4 August, Hubert von Goisern and the Donau-Piraten can be seen at the Pfarrsaal in Bad Ischl, 20:00 hrs.

Hubert von Goisern and the Transatlantic Friendship

Hubert von Goisern - Street concert in Karbach

Austria's world musician, singer-songwriter and book author had a special idea for the Capital of Culture year: he's spoiling his numerous fans in all 23 Upper Austrian and Styrian Capital of Culture municipalities with street concerts.

On 10 July the Austro rocker played in a special little place: Karbach, on the east shore of Lake Traunsee, fulfilling one of his own wishes. There are places he's always wanted to play, including Karbach or the Toplitzsee for example. Number one was attained today and it was an unforgettable evening at Lake Traunsee, Hubert von Goisern noted after his concert at the foot of the Traunstein.

Of course the audience was thrilled too. It's not every day that you can take a refreshing dip in Lake Traunsee during a concert, and enjoy music in a unique landscape.

The Transatlantic Friendship plays at the Seewiese

The street music tour through the Salzkammergut continues under the motto of the "Transatlantic Friendship". At the invitation of Hubert von Goisern, old friends Bob Bernstein (Federn Tour 2015-16, Zeiten & Zeichen album) and Enrique Martinez (Zeiten & Zeichen) have been reunited with the band: Severin Trogbacher, Alex Pohn and Helmut Schartlmüller. This leg of the tour has thus far led the musicians – now with pedal steel and piano accordion on board – into streets at the heart of the Capital of Culture region, across crystal clear lakes, into green meadows and to the centre of a renowned UNESCO World Heritage site. On 8 July they were to be heard at the Seewiese on the shore of Lake Altaussee, to where around 200 people also made the pilgrimage to experience a special kind of concert.

Trio Hupsala in Steinbach and Marcus Hinterberger in Altaussee

Street music concert thrills a spontaneous crowd of 150 in Steinbach

Steinbach am Attersee: Rumours kept circling and then on 25 June it happened: Hubert von Goisern played a spontaneous street music concert with Claudia Schwab and Trio Hupsala at the boat pier in Steinbach.

Unannounced and with changing lineups. That's how the spontaneous concerts with Hubert von Goisern as a street musician will be taking place in each of the 23 Capital of Culture municipalities this year. Steinbach am Attersee, one of the 23 municipalities, had the pleasure of this spectacle on Tuesday afternoon. On the spur of the moment 150 people found their way to the landing point in Steinbach am Attersee and enjoyed the concert from Hubert von Goisern with Claudia Schwab and Trio Hupsala in bright sunshine. The acoustic attacks in public spaces are being announced at deliberately short notice and will be different each time due to the changing lineups.
