Symbolizing the spirit of the festival, this concert creates a vibrant sound fantasy full of surprises that is dedicated to the stimulating and respectful dialogue of cultural diversity.

A musical message up in the air will create the vision of building bridges between history and present times, between Orient and Okzident as well as the multi-faceted musical traditions. Solo trumpeter Rainer Auerbach (Staatskapelle Berlin, Germany), trumpeter Karl-Heinz Georgi (Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Germany), trumpeter Christoph Ullrich (Germany), percussionist Chen Zimbalista (Israel), percussionist Bernhard Richter (Austria), as well as local and European brass & percussion artists of all generations such as the Styrian delegation of Lukas Hirzberger, Johannes Kölbl, Christian Riegler, Wolfgang Tischhart & Nikolaus Waltersdorfer (all from Austria) that will perform in this multi-perspective acoustic adventure with a grand communal finale at the Church of the Redeemer, where the audience is positioned.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”sponsors”][vc_column]
