Musicbanda Franui & Friends »Die große Schubertsache« – Wiener Konzerthaus, Vienna

About this event

“Die große Schubertsache oder: Der Song Contest, bei dem Franz Schubert gewinnt” is a crossover concert that playfully reframes the legacy of Franz Schubert as a modern-day “song contest.” East Tyrol’s Musicbanda Franui brings its distinctive, genre-blending sound together with classical soloists and contemporary bands to explore Schubert’s world across styles. The evening bridges Lieder and arias with folk, pop, and chamber textures, aligning with the Wiener Konzerthaus’s “Grenzenlos Musik” ethos of boundary-crossing programming. Presented by the Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft, the event celebrates Schubert as an ever-relevant musical voice while inviting diverse artists—singers, pianists, and bands—to reimagine his spirit for today.
