Haus der Musik - Das Klangmuseum

From Netnakisum to Garish

Live on stage concerts at Haus der Musik

Haus der Musik brings you subtle wordplay, provocative costumes and an abundance of creativity from Netnakisum and a contrast between subtlety and pandemonium from Austrian band Garish. Two insider's tips - holders of Haus der Musik members' cards can get in for free.

Live on stage: Garish

Poetry in August

According to German online magazine "Laut", Garish's songs, for which still, sensitive poetry singer Thomas Jarmer is responsible, "veer indulgently between melodic pop hymns, crashing guitars and bombastic orchestral textures. It's all rather reserved, in a British way, but with an unexpected rock 'n' roll beat." Garish's live act involves instruments such as the banjo, the double bass and the glockenspiel and willingly dispenses with the customary stacks of amplifiers from time to time.

"Your Humble Servant, Teddy Bear"

A new star in children's music: Bernhard Fibich

Beethoven Re:Loaded

A reinterpretation for the 21st century

"There's something in the air. We daydream as the ground is taken from under our feet. Stefan Obermaier's take on Beethoven reveals a world between midnight and sunrise, between downfall and resurrection. Old Europe meets the new world and nothing is as it seems."

The man who brings harmony to the world

Maestro Zubin Mehta in discussion with Dr. Clemens Hellsberg on 20th June 2008

He's one of the most famous conductors in the world.  An honorary member of the Vienna State Opera, of which he was Music Director from 1998 to 2006; an honorary member of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna; holder of the Order of Maximilian and of the Lifetime Achievement Peace and Tolerance Award of the United Nations.

From Agnes Milewski to Zubin Mehta

The highlights of the programme in June 2008 

The ultimate top event in June 2008 is the Artist Conversation with Dr Clemens Hellsberg and Zubin Mehta, but the other events also speak for themselves: Marko Simsa invites you to "Vivaldi for Children" on 20th June (the same day as the Artist Conversation) and during the summer months the Wiener Ferienspiel holiday playscheme is also visiting the Haus der Musik, offering children and grown-ups alike the opportunity to make and hear music. 

Summa Cum Laude

Young people making music, singing and performing in the Haus der Musik on 6th and 7th July 2008

The "Summa Cum Laude" International Youth Music Festival in Vienna's Musikverein concert hall is unlike any other of the many youth music competitions: unconventional, informal, yet of the highest standard.  The Haus der Musik is also involved as a location and stage for the young musicians.  

Holidays with music

The Wiener Ferienspiel holiday playscheme with "Musical Journeys" in the Haus der Musik 

Musical experiences during the summer holidays.  As in past years, the Haus der Music is once again participating in the holiday playscheme that has become a hit for all the kids (and their parents) who've stayed at home for the summer holidays.  A low-priced holiday pass offers admission to dozens of events, courses, guided tours, workshops, etc. free of charge or at reduced prices.
