Chamber Music Festival: Momentum
We., 05.08.2026 from 19:30 o'clock
World sounds above the rooftops of Graz: Momentum combines accordion, flugelhorn, and piano for a calm, international chamber music evening with delicate colors
Momentum at the Chamber Music Festival brings together three strong musical voices on August 5 at the Energie Steiermark E-Office Graz. Christian Bakanic on accordion, Horst-Michael Schaffer on flugelhorn and trumpet, and Karen Asatrian on piano create an evening that begins quietly and resonates long after.
The pieces possess colors from many regions: at times it sounds like a French bistro, then like an Armenian folk festival, and again like a long journey between city, landscape, and memory. Above the rooftops of Graz, this music unfolds its subtle power. The E-Office, with its view over the city, provides a framework for the concert that is palpable in its openness and intimacy.
Momentum stands for chamber music that does not seem polished but rather lively, warm, and clear. Every note has its place. Every pause tells something. Thus, a program is created that does not rush but breathes. Anyone looking for a summer evening with fine sound, international flavor, and genuine musical encounter in Graz will find a special date in Styria here.
Tickets can be booked online!
The concert connects urban atmosphere with cosmopolitan impressions, fitting wonderfully into the Graz Region. Momentum shows how close sound, place, and mood can be. Between jazz, folk music, and delicate classical lines, a calm dialogue develops that brings the audience close to the musicians in an intimate setting. This is precisely what makes this concert evening in Graz so memorable and atmospheric.
