Homage to Friedl Bahner: Memorial concert promises unforgettable sounds!

In Hallein, an important chapter in cultural history will be re -beaten: On the next June 14th at 7:30 p.m. there will be a memorial concert for the iconic cultural pioneer Friedl Bahner in the Bad Dürrnberg church. This concert is not only a tribute to Bahner, which died in 2022 at the age of 80, but also a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Hallein cultural forum, which has decisively shaped the local cultural scene over the years.

The former mayor Franz Kurz recognized early on what a valuable contribution an active cultural association can afford for the city. The Hallein cultural scene, especially in the 1990s, flourished under Bahner's influence and many young artists from the region found support on their musical path through the cultural forum. The concert on June 14th, organized by Margarethe Hlawa, is now intended to honor the tradition of this forum and the artistic heritage of Friedl Bahner and kidnap the people into a musical world that reflects his visions. MeinDägkirz reports that the Halleiner Chamber Orchestra will play under the direction of conductor Peter Wesenauer.

The program on this evening promises a lot: works by Paul Hindemith, Anders Koppel and the premiere of Wesenauer's elegy are presented. Outstanding musicians will be heard on the instruments, including Werner Heidrich (Viola), Margarethe Hlawa-Grundner (violin), Ivan Mancinelli (Marimba), Christina Schorn-Mancinelli (guitar) and Georg Winkler (clarinet). These talented soloists have been funded by Bahner and the Kulturforum over the years, which makes the connection between the artists and the deceased cultural booster even more profound. EventJet emphasizes that this concert wants to help to revive the Bad Dürrnberger church concerts after many years.

The event is not only understood as a music event, but also as an appreciation for the extraordinary cultural and musical work in Hallein and the surrounding area. With the commemorative concert, a piece of Hallein identity is preserved and continued, and many visitors will certainly attract both from close and away.
