He blends these elements in his own distinctive style, creating a language that is accessible to music lovers of all tastes. In this concert he performs guitar pieces from his recently released CD “The Good Moment”, alongside chamber music compositions written for cello and guitar duo and also for guitar/ violin/ cello/ piano quartet. The concert follow the thoughts of a man over the course of two days. It begins on the evening of a night filled with contemplation, then tracks the events of the following hectic day, before ending with the insights that arise as the second day dawns.

How do you narrate the development of our planet and its inhabitants on stage? How do NASA data on the climate crisis transform into music? How does a scientific publication on demography become a theater play? For several years, an Austrian choreographer, an American playwright, and a Dutch composer have collaborated with scientists to shed light on various dimensions of the ecological crisis in artistic ways. Under the title 'What We Want,’ they present a program of eco-theater. Eco-Theater is a movement of artists that strives to create science-based work in the context of our new climate reality toward a collective goal of environmental justice.
The evening will open with FOUR DRIFTING SEASONS by the Dutch composer Merlijn Twaalfhoven.Based on NASA data from 1880 to present, the opera singer, Sara Casey, will sing the temperature rise.
BREATH
The multimedia dance piece was created by the Austrian choreographer Gloria Benedikt and a team of scientists from Harvard University and IIASA. It depicts a journey through time, starting from cyanobacteria that accidentally produced oxygen two and a half billion years ago, ultimately enabling life on planet Earth, to the present day, where the human species is slowly but consistently depriving itself of air to breathe and then perhaps, albeit belatedly, changing course. The piece premiered at the European Forum Alpbach in 2021. It was further developed and performed in Paris at the Institut Pasteur (2022) and the Institut de France (2023).
PIECE OF CAKE (Premiere)
The theater play was developed in 2019 as part of the IIASA Science and Art project by playwright and co-director of the pioneering Brooklyn-based Superhero Clubhouse eco-theater, Lanxing Fu, and Fabian Wagner, an IIASA climate scientist. In the play, past, present, and future exist in one space as four generations of a family spanning 1950 to 2050, gather around a table to share an absurd, abundant, limitless feast. The story traverses a century of humans’ changing relationship to resources and shifting ideas of what it means to have children.
If you would like a piece of the cake, which will be specifically for the premiere of "A Piece of Cake," you can preorder it here and pick it up in the intermission at Cafe Maximilian.
DISCUSSION: Following the performance, Gloria Benedikt, Jem Pickard, Merlijn Twaalfhoven, and Fabian Wagner will have a discussion with the audience.

Music has had a number of important functions in the military. This is not just true of the past, but also applies today: for communication purposes (signalling), for motivating people (through military marches and musical propaganda), for celebrating victories, and for remembering the fallen. But has music also served a purpose in the cause of peace? And can it still do so nowadays? It may seem absurd, but regardless whether the purpose is military or peaceful, the means are almost identical: stirring the emotions and motivating people, as well as pleading for peace and expressing grief. Music can bring people together.
But what does peace sound like? How does one compose and play music in time of war? Which notes sound peaceful, and which sound warlike?
How can peace be created through sounds?
The is the question which REIHE Zykan+ address in this collaborative project. It features an eclectic programme, encompassing a children’s counting rhyme by Otto M. Zykan entitled “Ping Peng Peng”, Michael Mautner’s ”On doibt douter (dem bewaffneten Mann darf man nicht trauen)”, Arvo Pärt‘s “Da Pacem”, and Karmella Tsepkolenko‘s “Woher schwarzer Tross”, which is based on a text by Serhij Zhadan.
Audience members can join in with the vocal quartet in singing the children’s rhyme “Ping Peng Peng”, and make music using rhythm, sounds, words and movement.

Society and politics tend not to feature in contemporary music; these issues lurk in a musical “blind spot”. REIHE ZYKAN + aima to remedy this.
Founded in 2020, REIHE Zykan + is a vocal and instrumental ensemble which not only embraces the modern social and political repertoire, but also incorporates two elements which often missing from the contemporary musical scene: namely, humour and satire. The group is named after Otto M. Zykan. His compositions, and those of his collaborators, pay homage to the principle of “sarcasm as an aesthetic strategy”.

When he was young, baritone Thomas Weinhappel’s time in the Vienna Boys Choir was overshadowed by repeated surgical operations. So he knows from his own experience how artists will come together to support each other as best they can, especially in times of trouble.
On the eve of one of those operations, the eleven-year-old Weinhappel prayed to God to restore his health, so he would be able to sing once more and go on tour with the Choir.
The Vienna Boys Choir’s teaching staff recognised not only the boy’s talent, but also the drive and desire that went with it, and they helped him wherever they could.
Now that MuTh - which is not just a home for artistic diversity, but also the Vienna Boys Choir’s rehearsal stage and concert hall - finds itself under severe financial pressure, the baritone wants to repay the help he received back then, and to put into practice something that he learned in the Choir, alongside his musical education: when times get tough, we stick together, stand by each other, and tackle challenges head-on.
For Thomas Weinhappel, as a native of Lower Austria, performing this benefit concert on the State Holiday of his regional homeland is a particular pleasure, especially under the patronage of Ms. Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria.
He explained his idea about helping MuTh - and, in so doing, helping the Vienna Boys’ Choir - to the Moldova-born concert pianist and MUK professor Alexandra Goloubitskaia. She immediately agreed to take part, especially as the programme includes extracts from operas by Richard Wagner, since she has a particular love of this music. Indeed, in 2021, during the coronavirus pandemic, her solo piano took on the role of a full orchestra when she played a gala performance of the “Ring of the Nibelungen” at the Hessisches Staatstheater in Wiesbaden.
Around the same time, critics attending the Wagner festival “Götterklang trifft Donaugold” (Twilight of the Gods meets Rhinegold) in Lower Austria told Weinhappel that he could well be a new Wotan. This followed the change he made at the start of the pandemic when, encouraged by the advice he received from Wagner specialist Stefan Mikisch, he shifted the focus of his singing to the dramatic form - a talent which he demonstrates to great effect in this concert held at, and in aid of, MuTh.
Ursula Wies, the Vienna-born actress and Wagner enthusiast, hosts the evening. With this year marking the 210th anniversary of the great composer’s birth, she will provide audience members - including those few who are perhaps not such huge fans of Wagner - with insights into his life and work. The musical performances will be interspersed with anecdotes and analysis.

Improvisation is an important part of a composer’s creative process. It could be based on words, structures, drawings or gestures; and all these options are explored in this event. In conjunction with composer and sound painter Samu Gryllus, the audience at this concert will get the opportunity to compose through the use of gesture, singing, and playing.
The programme for this event, which is presented in collaboration with the Austrian Composers’ Association (ÖKB - Österreichischen Komponistenbund), contains a fascinating assortment of music. It includes John Cage’s “Number Pieces”, a composition based on mathematical principles which uses chance as a source of creative impetus. Also featured is Cathy Berberian’s “Stripsody”, a striking piece which explores and experiments with the human voice, bringing unusual vocal sounds to the forefront.
A concert for everyone who can read music - and everyone who can’t!

With stories from Guy de Maupassant, Oscar Wilde, Erich Kästner and others, Katharina Stemberger invites us to take a look at Christmas from a different perspective. Wolfgang Panhofer plays a strange yet beautiful selection of music on his cello, ranging from the classical to the tango.

Directed by Barbara Palmetzhofer, pupils from the Vienna Boys' Choir High School Senior Class present an abridged operatic version of the much-loved fairy tale, specially adapted for children. What? Only twelve golden plates at the table, when there are thirteen fairies? This is not going to turn out well! The thirteenth fairy shows up uninvited at the king’s castle, where celebrations to mark the birth of his daughter are underway. The fairy is furious, and in her rage she lays a curse on the tiny Princess Rose: on her fifteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel — and then Princess Rose will die! The fairy Morphina softens the curse, changing it from death into a sleep that will last a hundred years. The King commands that every spinning wheel in the land must be burned. But it’s all to no avail. On the day of her fifteenth birthday, Princess Rose comes across a long-forgotten spinning wheel. She pricks herself on the spindle, and falls into a deep sleep ... as does the whole castle, and everyone within. Can a young prince succeed in forcing his way through the impenetrable thorny thicket which surrounds the castle, and rescue Sleeping Beauty?

Can a young prince succeed in forcing his way through the impenetrable thorny thicket which surrounds the castle, and rescue Sleeping Beauty?

Directed by Barbara Palmetzhofer, pupils from the Vienna Boys' Choir High School Senior Class present an abridged operatic version of the much-loved fairy tale, specially adapted for children. What? Only twelve golden plates at the table, when there are thirteen fairies? This is not going to turn out well! The thirteenth fairy shows up uninvited at the king’s castle, where celebrations to mark the birth of his daughter are underway. The fairy is furious, and in her rage she lays a curse on the tiny Princess Rose: on her fifteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel — and then Princess Rose will die! The fairy Morphina softens the curse, changing it from death into a sleep that will last a hundred years. The King commands that every spinning wheel in the land must be burned. But it’s all to no avail. On the day of her fifteenth birthday, Princess Rose comes across a long-forgotten spinning wheel.

Led by their choirmaster, 24 boys in sailor suits sing in concert. Why are they known and loved by people all over the world? Because they remind us that music is the universal language of human emotion, a language which knows no national boundaries. Over the course of eleven Fridays, the world-famous Vienna Boys Choir show off their talents. With youthful energy and charm, they lead their audience on a journey through musical history, taking in not just Mozart, Schubert and Strauss, but World Music and Pop as well. And along the way we’ll no doubt hear a few stories from their 525-year history!

The world of music is just waiting to be discovered. So we’re inviting the very, very youngest to come along and explore. And all the while they’re free to crawl about and gurgle away. To laugh and to listen. To sing, and to play, and to dance! Together with music educator Birgit Reithofer, we’ll use all our senses to explore the world of music, actually on the stage. Here’s a chance to let yourself go, and to hear the flute and the harp - and lots of other sounds as well - really, really close. Let’s explore the world of sound, and all make music together!
