Two outstanding Carinthian ensembles are celebrating their 20th anniversary together this year and invite you to a very special Christmas concert. The Carinthian State Youth Choir, which offers young, talented singers from all over Carinthia the opportunity to experience the diverse facets of vocal music, meets the Brass Boys ensemble, which has been impressing with their musical versatility and inspiring stage presence since 2005.
Under the direction of Bernhard Wolfsgruber and the founding members Doris Aichholzer and Florian Pirolt, the Carinthian State Youth Choir, which currently has around 55 members, forms a colorful community of singers from various regions of Carinthia. With sophisticated arrangements and a wide repertoire, the choir has fascinated audiences for two decades.
The Brass Boys, founded from a music school project in Mölltal, have long been known far beyond Carinthia. They have made a name for themselves nationally and internationally with their mix of original works for brass, original compositions and modern arrangements.
Together, the Carinthian State Youth Choir and the Brass Boys will not only present their musical skills this evening, but also celebrate two decades of music. Look forward to this atmospheric Christmas concert!

A Musical and Cabaret Journey Through the Alpine Region
From Vienna and Prague to Munich, Mattsee, and South Tyrol – DiabelliMusi and cabaret artist Ludwig W. Müller invite you to an extraordinary evening that blends music and humor. Polkas, waltzes, and a “Corona Ciaccona” meet stories of depressive problem bears, train rides as therapy, culinary adventures – and, of course, plenty of witty wordplay and tongue-twisting rhymes!
DiabelliMusi brings together six outstanding musicians from Mattsee, the surrounding region, and the Munich Philharmonic. Drawing on their roots in both folk and classical music, they create a distinctive sound through their clever and original arrangements.
The sharp wit of the evening comes from Ludwig W. Müller – Upper Austrian by birth, “Ex-Tyrolean,” new Münchner, master of the Schüttelreim (German spoonerism), and exceptional cabaret performer. With keen observation, linguistic flair, and infectious joy, he guides the audience through a night of laughter and music.
Performers:
Alexandra Gruber, clarinet (Munich Philharmonic)
Stefan Prommegger, clarinet (Faltenradio)
Johannes Hofbauer, bassoon (Munich Philharmonic)
Thomas Hofbauer, Styrian harmonica (Halthäuslmusi, Tassilobläser)
Waltraud Stögner, harp (Radauer Ensemble, Flachgauer Musikanten)
Sebastian Rastl, double bass (Tanzgeiger, Fensageiger)
Ludwig W. Müller, cabaret artist, author, and master of the Schüttelreim
