Advent sounds in the Gitschtal: Carinthian choir inspires in Weißbriach

On December 14, 2024, the “Choir of the Carinthians in Graz” will perform a special Advent concert in the Gitschtal, and this promises to be a festive musical journey through traditional and modern Advent songs. Under the motto “It’s time to reflect,” the evening will be enriched by the singing of around 60 singers from the choir as well as the St. Lorenzen mixed choir and the brass musicians. The charismatic Magdalena Liegl will lead the program, which will include both moving solos and small group performances. This event is not only a musical experience, but also a gathering of home feelings and tradition, sought after by Carinthians and their friends.

The “Choir of the Carinthians in Graz”, founded in 1975 by studying Carinthians, has made the legacy of the Carinthian song its mission. Under the direction of Stefan Gruber, the choir works to cultivate and disseminate Carinthian folk songs as well as classical works and modern pieces meinkreis.at reported. With a special connection to their homeland, many members of this group, who also come from the Hermagor district, translate their passion for music into lively harmonies. The anticipation for the concert is great, especially thanks to the commitment of local talent organizing the event.

Celebrating a musical heritage

Preparations for the concert are in full swing, and the end of the year should also be properly celebrated. Next year the choir will celebrate its 50th anniversary with an anniversary concert in Graz kaernten.orf.at informed. The choir, which also fits into the Christmas season celebrations, is not only planning a new CD dedicated to the Carinthian song, but also a Christmas CD with the title “The hope has gwunnan”. This creative enthusiasm shows that the love of music and home remains alive in the Carinthian community and continues to reach new heights.
