Sad mood on the When the Musi plays - artists show each other

Bad Kleinkirchheim, Österreich - in Bad Kleinkirchheim and St. Oswald, the 30th edition of "When the Musi plays" was celebrated on June 14, 2025, but the atmosphere was shaped by grief and thoughtfulness. The popular folk music and hit open-air, known for his exuberant atmosphere, started in a dark context after a tragic killing spree in Graz had previously asked for eleven lives on Tuesday, including nine students and a teacher. This terrible news has captivated the whole nation and provided state bodies for a week. Merkur reported on the effects of the killing spree and its sad relevance.

The event moderators, pop star Stefanie Hertel and Marco Ventre, commented on the changed mood in the audience. Marco Ventre found that the usual exuberance was missing, while Hertel put the thoughts and sympathy for the families concerned. Despite the oppressive grief, the organizers decided that the show should take place as a sign of hope and cohesion. "Stand together" was the motto of the evening, and so the opening of the show was heralded by a song that is normally intended as the final.

music as a consolation donor

The artists who performed that evening have kept a good hand by wanting to bring people joy, comfort and hope. "It is our responsibility to be there for people in difficult times," emphasized Hertel, referring to the important role of music in crisis situations. Their commitment to put a smile on the face of the spectators was particularly appreciated. The appearance took place despite the many cancellations of artists, but also appreciates the fate of a well -known pop star who had to cancel his appointments due to a stroke.

The event that was broadcast live by MDR and ORF live at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday evening attracted numerous well-known stars of hit and folk music to Carinthia. With the decision to carry out the event, the organizers set an important sign of cohesion and humanity in these turbulent times. According to MDR, the event should be back to people and in difficult time a ray of hope.

The context of amotlets and public security

The latest events in Graz are part of a worrying development in Europe, where tragic amotlets are repeatedly done. The discussions about security measures and weapons laws have been re -lived up by devastating incidents, including a knife attack in Solingen or an amocray in Munich. Amo runs, as they have already taken place in schools, cause particularly large horror and show the urgency to rethink public security measures. According to Statista, such acts often end with the perpetrator's suicide and raise questions about the prevention and psyche of the attackers.

In these difficult times, the event "When the music plays" shows how important it is to connect people together and to meet the challenges of life together. The music thus becomes a consolation in the middle of the tragedy - a ray of hope in the dark.
