The "Music around the World" festival brings many stars to Lake Wörthersee. On Wednesday, the legendary jazz guitarist Harri Stojka will perform in Minimundus, followed on August 21 by the popular "Hubert und Staller" cop Helmfried von Lüttichau. The aristocrat goes on tour alone as a cabaret artist.

This year's "Music around the World" festival once again shines with well-known names that would otherwise not come to Carinthia so quickly. On Wednesday (8.30 pm), jazz musician Harri Stojka makes a guest appearance in the small world on Lake Wörthersee. The guitarist, composer, bandleader and singer has been on stage since 1972 and is one of the best-known Roma in Austria. "And he's already been here three times," says Minimundus manager Hannes Guggenberger proudly. Stojka has released 27 albums and made a global career for himself. His inimitable guitar playing style is known as "Gipsysoul".

There are nine evenings of music at Minimundus this year, and next week actor Stefano Bernardin will be exploring the phenomenon of "Hamlet".

Helfried von Lüttichau will be performing in Klagenfurt on August 21. After his role in "Hubert und Staller", the aristocratic Bavarian is also a favorite policeman in Austria, and the 67-year-old also loves cabaret. "He always wanted to be a rock musician and also gives a concert with his electric guitar," says Guggenberger. "Helmfried loves to talk about his life, sing and play. Incidentally, I hired him for the Salzburg Festival, where Helmfried von Lüttichau's show was on the program alongside Jedermann."
