THE MUSICIANS

Once a year, the hosts invite you to the Long Night of the Stage Inns in Lower Austria with free admission!
It all began in 1980 with the musical accompaniment of a wedding among friends. What followed was a journey of over 20 years as “Streanzn” through Austrian folk music and beyond. What remains from this journey are the MusikKanten.
They are the masters of recycling - mind you, of musical re-utilization!
The melodies may sound familiar, often being ancient tunes, but the "literal and musical attire" dresses them anew. Their aim is to bring every piece to the floor of the Vienna Woods.
Or as Wilfried put it: “You can't say that they make pure folk music, but you can certainly say that they transform all sorts of music into folk music.”
