On 11 July, the musical heart-openers and overcomers of cultural boundaries of the Mühlviertler Kombo ALPKAN (current album: “Hoas is!”) as a guest. Their hits are compositions of humor, irony, tragic reality and musical influences from the Balkans to the Alps – with this great mix of dirty and virtuoso, the result is an entertaining artistic speed that is unparalleled.
The concert will be regionally based and cheerfully commented on during the interval with reading sequences by artistic director Fritz Egger. He does this in the literary, refined dialect of the Innviertel poet and popular educator Hans Kumpfmüller. Sample? Please: Be a staunch believer and then ride my bike.
