The third album by the pop duo ANGER from Bressanone is perhaps their sweetest, most sensitive and fragile work to date. It is an album that speaks of love, nature and death. An album that moves between urban pop and living room recitals. Between folk, avant-garde, acoustic and electronic. Between high and low. ANGER – Julian Angerer and Nora Pider. Together with Fabian and Manuel Pichler, they present their new songs live as a quartet for the first time in South Tyrol. They return to a small theatre, a place where the closeness between the band and the audience is palpable. Where everything is authentic and handmade. Where it all began.

The Bolzano Concert Association is one of the oldest music organisers in Tyrol. It goes back to the Bolzano Music Society, which has been instrumental in the musical development of Bolzano since 1855. Since its foundation in 1855, its aim has been to organise an annual season of first-class classical music concerts in Bolzano almost without interruption. The first concert of the 2025 season takes us back to the era of the magnificent royal courts, with an ensemble that is still unique today. There is no comparable oboe group: La Petite Ecurié is a five-piece international ensemble consisting of baroque oboes (the French >hautbois< ), taille, baroque bassoon and historical percussion instruments, founded in 2018 (South Tyrolean percussionist Philipp Lamprecht is a founding member). Performing with this special ensemble will be trumpeter Bernhard Bär, who has an international career as a trumpet soloist with various renowned ensembles, Together they will perform 17th and 18th century works by Jacques Paisibles, Gottfried Finger, G. F. Händel, Arcangello Corelli and Henry Purcell.

Last year, ECM celebrated the release of yet another gem in its catalogue. Outpost of Dreams was reviewed by the press worldwide as a true masterpiece, once again paying tribute to and honouring the extraordinary performer Norma Winstone. Norma is truly a piece of modern jazz history. She approached jazz by listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson on the radio, and in just a few years she became a true emblem of British jazz, her name long established in the pantheon of African-American music. There is no need to write about her talent and the beauty of her vocal introspection. Alongside her is Kit Downes, one of the best English pianists of recent decades. All this makes for a truly enchanting evening of delicacy, grace, elegance, intimacy, light, total intensity and rich creativity. The octogenarian Norma Winstone and the young Kit Downes demonstrate that there is no generation gap in music, but rather that the singer's rich experience and the pianist's fresh creative vein trigger a creative mechanism in which the incessant and equal dialogue between the two is capable of generating only grace and evoking a place where dreams find a voice, a tangible human dimension.

Fresh, authentic and open to anything that sounds different: Popcorner, a seven-piece ensemble from the Fassa Valley, is bringing new energy to the Ladin music scene. With an exciting mix of their own Ladin songs and international covers, they inspire with their youthful sound, strong voices and audible enthusiasm. Their first album, ‘Utar piata’, was recently released. Founded in 2023, Popcorner deliberately goes beyond mere cover versions: workshops on songwriting and music production have given rise to a new generation of Ladin pop music – modern, emotional and stylistically open. The name ‘Popcorner’ has a double meaning: ‘pop’ means ‘child’ in Ladin – but at the same time it is reminiscent of the pop music genre that forms the core of their style, and “corner” means ‘vagabond’ – a tongue-in-cheek allusion to their musical freedom.

They are the luminaries of a cappella dialect music, and for some, even the most beautiful boy band in the world. More than 12 years have passed since the vocal ensemble first moved out of their rehearsal room in Vienna's Hermanngasse to make the world a happier place with their enchanting dialect singing. Hundreds of concerts testify to their thirst for adventure and a healthy dose of pioneering spirit. They have already been nominated twice for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award. With a proudly displayed shyness, they sing their not-so-harmless lyrics, sparing no one. They have released five albums full of songs, many of which – such as Knedl, Wegana, Elektroradl and Alles Tango – have already achieved cult status. In autumn 2024, the new album SEHR SOGAR marked another milestone in the band's history. The new record is as colourful, cheeky, loving and cool as the band itself, sometimes hip hop, sometimes schlager or even big pop, sometimes flashy, then again quite modest, incredibly diverse and yet seamless.

Peaceful and Authentic Ambience at the Ritten Christmas Market. Delicious local treats, traditional and high-quality arts and crafts are waiting for you, accompanied by a lovely entertainment program with concerts, live nativity sets and lots more. Cozy, well almost contemplative – that’s the best way to describe the ambience at Ritten's Christmas Market, the Christmas Train Market (“Christbahnl”). The snow falls softly from the sky, Christmas carols gently jingle across the square and a fragrance of freshly baked goodies fills the winter air. That’s why the Christmas Train Market offers a comforting contrast to the hustle and bustle of many other Christmas markets in South Tyrol. Here, the calm and peace of the holiday season remains preserved. The gourmet stands at the markets in promise comfort and feel-good food of finest quality along with delicious hot punch to warm you right through to your bones. The small but exquisite Christmas market takes place in four different locations: in Oberbozen at the Ritten railway station and in the village centre of Klobenstein, as well as in the railway station building in Klobenstein and in the historic Plattner Bienenhof in Wolfsgruben. The Ritten Railway connects the locations every half hour. Entertainment program: www.christbahnl.it

Between mosaics of colorful leaves on the ground and icy rain showers, October has also come to an end. Born out of a desire to slow down life and rediscover the joy of creating, Mooncraft is the new format developed by franz for the Parkhotel Mondschein, offering a series of workshops on traditional crafts reinterpreted by artists, designers, and contemporary creatives from the region. From paper art to ceramics, embroidery to cooking, the Mooncraft workshops offer the opportunity to experiment and rediscover the joy of “making” with your hands. The first workshop will take place on Saturday, November 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Parkhotel Mondschein, led by Elisa Barison, curator and flower farmer. A passionate and respectful lover of the nature that surrounds her, she grows the plants and flowers she uses for her creations herself. During the workshop “L'art de la table (festive),” she will show us how to make natural decorations from plants, flowers, and fruits to adorn our tables during the holidays. Bring an apron, work gloves, decorations of your choice, and lots of enthusiasm to participate, and let Elisa's experienced hands guide you. The workshop costs €45 and includes all the materials for your creation, which you can take home with you, as well as a small snack that you can enjoy in Gese.

Conductor: Paul Bozzetta. A passionate amateur violinist’s request for a string ensemble inspired Lilly Osann to establish a string orchestra. In spring 2022, a dedicated group of ambitious amateurs from various professions and age groups came together. Most of them had learned to play their instrument in their youth, and all share a love for music and the joy of making music together. The Arcana String Orchestra is conducted by Lilly Osann, former violinist of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra (1992–1997), the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano & Trento, and the Bolzano String Academy. She shares the musical leadership with Paul Bozzetta, a trombonist with conducting training under H. Obkircher, E. von Marschall (Düsseldorf), and G. Buitenhuis (Enschede, NL), with extensive experience as a conductor for various musical ensembles and bands.

Contributors are the St. Nikolaus Afing Church Choir, MirStimmen, 4Clarissimi, and Young Beats. The church choir would be happy to receive a voluntary donation.
