Advent concert

Sa., 19.12.2026 17:00 O'clock

Invitation to the Advent concert of the Salinenmusik “Harmony of the Spheres” – a musical journey through the universe. The Salinenmusikkapelle invites you to the traditional Advent concert “Harmony of the Spheres” in the parish church of Altaussee.

Together with soprano Juliane Kastlunger, a atmospheric concert evening awaits you in the Altausseer parish church between musical sound worlds and pre-Christmas contemplation.

The concert experience

From Haydn's "Representation of Chaos" to Holst's "Jupiter" and "Mars," up to Josef Strauss' "Sound of the Spheres" and Dvořák's "Song to the Moon," the program reflects the cosmic theme. Accompanying texts, narrated by Johann Loitzl, guide you through the evening.

Richard Strauss' opening fanfare from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" complement the program. Juliane Kastlunger from the Music School Bad Aussee takes over the soprano part in Dvořák's "Song to the Moon."

Also outside of the concert program, a pre-Christmas atmosphere is created around the parish church in Altaussee: Starting at 4:00 p.m., a punch booth invites you to enjoy a cozy get-together at the Altausseer church forecourt. The brass quartet of the Salinenmusik frames this opening with atmospheric Christmas tunes.

The Salinenmusikkapelle looks forward to welcoming numerous visitors for a reflective musical evening during the pre-Christmas season.


The program:

Joseph Haydn: The Representation of Chaos and First Recitative from the oratorio "The Creation"
Richard Strauss: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, opening fanfare from the eponymous tone poem
