From August 25 to October 27, the concert series presents serenades by well-known musical greats at beautiful locations in Lower Austria. Star baritone Daniel Gutmann and actress Sophie Aujesky will also be taking part.

Music at its origins is the motto of the oldest concert series: "Serenade Concerts" commemorate famous musical personalities at ten different locations across the country. The program ranges from classical songs and instrumental music to readings and recitations. This year, for example, the artist couple Gottfried von Einem and Lotte Ingrisch will be honored for the first time with a performance in Oberdürnbach in the Weinviertel region.

Numerous artists from Lower Austria will also be taking part in the concert series, which runs from August 25 to October 27: for example, at the opening on Sunday with local bass Michael Wagner and the Carl Zell Serenade in St. Peter in der Au, the composer's birthplace. On September 22, mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz - shooting star at the Vienna State Opera - will offer a foray through the songs of the Romantic period with the Hugo Wolf Serenade at Perchtoldsdorf Castle.

Diverse program awaits
Actress and culture prize winner Sophie Aujesky will also be performing alongside tenor Robert Bartneck and guitarist Armin Egger at the Gottfried von Einem Serenade in Oberdürnbach on September 29. The internationally acclaimed local baritone Daniel Gutmann will offer samples at the Randhartinger Serenade in Ruprechtshofen on October 6.
