(Mittersill) From October 11 to 15, the FESTIVAL HOHE TAUERN took its visitors in Oberpinzgau (Salzburger Land) on those paths where local musical traditions converge with classical music at the highest level.

On mule tracks." took up Rubén Dubrovskythe artistic director of the festival, used the fascinating contrast between the familiar and the unfamiliar as the centerpiece of the festival's musical performances, attracting celebrities to the Oberpinzgau region.

On Sunday afternoon, the Janoska Ensemble freshly arrived from the Vienna Musikverein, performed at the Kammerlanderstall in Neukirchen am Großvenediger. With their program "The big B's", the four musicians interpreted well-known works of classical music in the unmistakable "Janoska style". The audience was absolutely thrilled and celebrated with them, which led to a special connection between the festival visitors and the artists on stage. A grand finale! The organizers of the Hohe Tauern Festival face a real challenge next year - from 9 to 13 October 2024 - to build on this success.

Invitation to the chamber music series in the Bösendorfer Saal
Mittersill Castle Concert

A highlight of the varied concert evening was the joint performance of a baroque double choir by Giovanni Gabrieli, specially arranged for these two ensembles by horn player Leopold Ruttinger.
