Concerts at Eggenberg Palace

A secret is being revealed. And what a secret it is. Classical pianist Markus Schirmer wrote – well disguised as “Bob Mendelsson” – numerous chart hits together with lyricist & comedian Gernot Haas aka “Damon Meeks”! Their songs made it into movies, on to Southeast Asian commercial television – and even into the Ö3 Top 40.

Now, the duo's greatest ballads and power songs will be performed live on stage for the first time. Interpreted by a dream band assembled especially for this evening, featuring popular SCURDIA protagonists and international pop greats. Among them: vocal icon Sandra Pires, exceptional guitarist Manuel Randi (Herbert Pixner Projekt) or Janette Williams, the drummer cast personally by Benny Andersson for the London megaseller show “ABBA Voyage.” Our sparkling festival finale with real feel-good factor. For amazement. For chuckling. For singing along. For celebrating.
