Cuddle concert

In this series, small ensembles and soloists from the various departments of the Haus der Musik Innsbruck fill the baby-friendly Small Hall. In the six cuddle concerts, there are varied, age-appropriate concert programs lasting around 30-40 minutes, ranging from classical music to jazz and folk music. Music mediator Sascha Rathey (TSOI flutist) guides through the concerts and creates a suitable program together with the musicians.

Edoné Quartet
Selina Danzl, Laetitia Praxmarer, Hanna Messner, Katharina Lardschneider (transverse flutes)

Founded in 2021, the Edoné Quartet consists of the members Selina
Danzl, Laetitia Praxmarer, Hanna Messner and Katharina Lardschneider. As their ensemble name Edoné (meaning "love, enthusiasm") fromdrÃsuggests, the four flutists are united by a great passion, namely the fun of making music together. They got to know each other during their studies at the Tyrolean State Conservatory and the Mozarteum. For the cuddle concert, they are expanding their repertoire to include pieces with voice and piano!

"CaraMellas" solo & trio
Carina Königinger (horn), Melanie Rigo (clarinet), Alexandra Milborn (piano)

An exciting combination of clarinet, horn, piano and vocals enchants not only as an ensemble, but also in various solo parts. From classical composers such as Mozart to modern literature, everything is represented in a colorful mix. The drei students Alexandra, Melanie and Carina from the Master IGP program at the Mozarteum Innsbruck are looking forward to a cuddly concert with all visitors young and old.

"String sounds"
Hannah Rabl (harp), Amelie Schuster (violin)

Hannah and Amelie know each other from their joint studies in instrumental and vocal pedagogy at the Mozarteum. The two students have been performing as a duo since spring 2024. On the concert harp and violin, they perform well-known and lesser-known melodies from classical, folk and pop music. Hannah and Amelie primarily play calm and romantic pieces from the classical period, with a little "Aussischmeiëer", a cheerful and lively piece of music, not to be missed betweendrin of course. From dreamy, melancholic to fiery, bold sounds, the duo brings a diverse program to the stage. The gentle tones of the harp and violin invite you to listen and immerse yourself in the world of sound for 30 minutes.

The musical toolbox - pieces for flute, cello and piano
Pantxoa Urtizberea (flute), Jakob Mitterer (cello), Nika Afazel (piano)

Just like in real life, there are things in the world of music that you hear more often than others. While you come across a string quartet from time to time, you probably have to search longer before you hear the combination of flute, cello and piano. What a shame! Because the combination of these drei instruments is something like a small orchestra. All timbres are there, all instrument groups are represented.

The flute whistles in the high register, the cello hums in the low register and the piano hammers - sometimes loudly, sometimes softly - across all registers. This instrumentation is therefore something of a small toolbox for composers.
In this concert, the audience can therefore expect to hear composers from past centuries who have worked with these musical tools and created the most beautiful melodies in the process.

"Soft to the touch and freshly plucked"
Frajo Köhle (guitar & vocals), Snezana Trajkovski (cello)

Music from five centuries for cello and something else..

Cellist Snezana Trajkovski and multi-instrumentalist Frajo Köhle (guitar/ukulele/mouth and accordion/singing saws) play a colorful program from Bach to Saint-Saens, from baroque to reggae.

13.6.25
Duo Lumina
Greta Franzelin (saxophone), Sophie Oberleitner (guitar)

Guitar and saxophone - a rather unusual combination! And that's exactly what guitarist Sophie Oberleitner and saxophonist Greta Franzelin have arranged a program for, with which they embark on a colourful journey of sound together. You can hear calm, meditative sounds, rhythmic melodies from Argentinian tango and Eastern European folklore, as well as some well-known melodies - a colorful interplay of musical diversity.
