From September 1st to October 29th at ten historic locations in Lower Austria
St. Polten (OTS/NLK) – “Lower Austria’s music-historical memorials have also been the venue for the ‘Serenade Concerts of the State of Lower Austria – MUSIC AT THE ORIGIN’ for over 60 years. They are an essential pillar of the annual cultural calendar and the oldest continuously existing concert series in our state. I am particularly pleased that this year, for the first time, Gneixendorf Castle near Krems will also be the venue for a serenade in memory of Ludwig van Beethoven,” says Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner.
As part of the serenade concerts of the state of Lower Austria, »Music at the Origin« will be offered from September 1st to October 29th, 2023 at ten locations in Lower Austria linked to famous musicians.
The focus is on the classical song ― supplemented by instrumental music and readings or recitations that match the content. Artists of international renown will provide unforgettable concert experiences with their talent and masterly skills on the weekends in late summer and autumn.
In 2023 there will be concerts at a total of ten locations in the federal state that are linked in a special way to important musicians:
in places where they were born, lived and worked, museums, memorial rooms and research institutions. The spectrum ranges from the historic Laxenburg Castle Theater and the Haydn birthplace in Rohrau to the Carl Zeller Memorial in St. Peter in der Au Castle and the Schönberg House in Mödling to the Salon Krenek in Krems.
With the new performance venue in Gneixendorf near Krems, the state of Lower Austria is honoring the composer Ludwig van Beethoven for the first time in 2023 with two events.
