ALM:CULTURE 2020

Every Friday from 3 July to 28 August 2020, hikers can meet artists and cultural professionals at the alpine huts in Saalfelden Leogang. There are various concerts and art workshops. All under the motto ‘Tradition meets modernity’. The best thing about it: you don't have to register or pay anything to take part in the events. All you need to do is hike up to the mountain hut.

MUSIC HIKING with ‘Styrian Blood’ 

Hurdy-gurdy virtuoso Matthias Loibner and bass clarinettist and saxophonist Siegmar Brecher meet for the first time in the duo Styrian Blood. At the age of 16, Brecher first heard the brilliant border crosser Loibner with his alternative folk band Deishovida and was enthralled by the sound of the hurdy-gurdy and Loibner's electrifying playing. 20 years later, the appreciation was mutual, because at that time Loibner was the first person brave enough to dance to the sound of Brecher's chamber punk jazz band ‘Edi Nulz’. The basis for the fulfilment of a long-cherished wish was thus laid and nothing stood in the way of an exciting collaboration. Steirabluat is koa Himbeersoft! 
On the beautiful hiking trail to the Steinalm, there are repeated stops and music. 
Meeting point at 11.00 am at the Steinalm/Einsiedelei car park

CONCERT ‘LE SORELLE’

Four sisters, four instruments, four voices. That's all it takes to give you goosebumps. Armed with guitar, piano, flute, harmonica and their voices, the four sisters from Fieberbrunn present themselves with powerful and modern voices. Their repertoire includes not only cover versions of world hits often set to music, but also new favourites from the charts - always enriched with Le Sorelle's unique style. The four sisters have a feeling for rhythm and melody in their blood and promise a very special musical experience with vocal harmony and new interpretations.

CONCERT ‘COBARIO’ & HANDICRAFT WORKSHOP 

Virtuoso, passionate, charming with Viennese humour! Cobario captivates the audience from the very first song and is celebrated with great applause. They passionately play their way through the broad spectrum of world music, touching on classical music and meandering through pop, always musically virtuosic and at the highest level. 

Manfred Lemberger from Kristallkeller Leogang shows participants how to make jewellery from precious stones. You can create a customised sliver necklace or a bracelet with two pendants in the workshop and then take it home with you. There are many different minerals to choose from.

 

24 July 2020, 1.00 pm, Örgenbauernalm Saalfelden

CONCERT ‘Bock auf Heidi’ 

The band mixes yodelling with bitter-sweet dialect chansons, German-language ballads and dancey, witty folk songs. The vocal sound of this powerful, dynamic vocal technique from the Alpine musical tradition meets world music, pop and, above all, jazz. The result is an unmistakable mix of folk music and a creatively modernised sound.
