A fine night music as part of the communale oö 2026 – Fretboard Fusion & Duo Giussani

Part 1
"Fretboard Fusion"

"Fretboard Fusion" is a crossover project by the two guitarists Oliver Jungbauer and Mark Leighton. Both students of Campbell Diamond's class, they founded the duo at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz after exchanging their individual musical interests. From jam sessions among friends, a collaboration developed that brought forth and further developed ideas with each rehearsal. Both musicians contribute their own perspective and experience – both in classical pieces and in innovative arrangements of pop and jazz music for two guitars. This results in a diverse and demanding program. Invitations to concerts have already taken the duo to the Brucknerhaus Linz as well as to the Stella University of Music Vorarlberg as part of the cooperation project "All Nine" of the nine Austrian music universities and Ö1.

Part 2
Duo Giussani
Pauline Stephan (cello) and Julian Richter (guitar)
With a passion that is immediately transferred to the listeners, Duo Giussani performs works from five centuries. In their new program "From Brazil to the Baltic," the two young artists take their audience on a journey that spans various continents and diverse musical eras.
"Auditory delight, a feast for the ears... these words inadequately describe the sensory pleasures that listeners can experience at the concerts of Duo Giussani... The artists offer music as if from another star. The two artists celebrate a musical festival."
