The MÜNSTERLAND FESTIVAL presents music and art at great venues in the Münsterland region every two years, bringing us up to fall 2021. This year has a special guest: AUSTRIA. Lively, versatile, exciting: this is what the program of the Münsterland Festival, Part 11, under the motto “Alpine Sounds without Altitude,” promises to be. From October 8th to November 6th, the festival invites audience members to music, art and dialogues throughout the Münsterland region, this time with Austria as guest country, and, as such, featuring some of the best musicians from the country.
MÜNSTERLAND FESTIVAL PART 11: ALPINE SOUNDS WITHOUT ALTITUDE
The music and culture of Austria is the focus of the Münsterland Festival Part 11. From October 8 to November 6, 2021, the festival team of Münsterland invites us to more than 40 events at beautiful and exciting locations in Münsterland, this time with the Alpine country as guest.
For more than four weeks, artists from the fields of music, visual arts and, for the first time, dance and magic will be guests in more than 30 locations throughout Münsterland, inviting you to listen, marvel and enjoy.
MUSIC: JAZZ, POP, CLASSICAL AND TRADITIONAL
The Austrian music scene has experienced a real upswing in recent years. This is also reflected in the increased international interest in music from Austria – across all genres. Following in the footsteps of such legends as Falco or Joe Zawinul, a self-confident young generation of musicians has emerged, giving free rein to their creativity with their own ideas and thus conquering concert stages throughout Europe.
With its guest country Austria, the Münsterland Festival Part 11 offers an excellent opportunity to get an idea of the diversity and quality of music from Austria.
