Danima is a trio from South Tyrol, consisting of Daniele Bordato (guitar, vocals), Nico Platter (cajón / keyboard), and Manuel Pircher (guitar).
The project began as a cover band performing classic rock ’n’ roll hits and evolved over the years: in addition to reinterpreting timeless evergreens, they now also write their own songs in English.

Their concerts are heartfelt, lively, and full of passion.

The Fever Week is an alternative-pop band based in Bolzano, Italy & Innsbruck, Austria. Their music combines 80’s pop elements with modern soundscapes. It amalgamates driving guitar riffs, powerful drums and catchy synthesizer melodies with energetic vocals.

The LanAntiqua Festival, organised by the LanAntiqua Association, aims to give "early music", which is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, its deserved place in the cultural life of Lana. This music, which is not limited to any epoch, covers the periods from the Middle Ages to Romanticism. The festival's highest maxim is: original sound, i.e. the performance of the music in an appropriate sound setting on instruments of the period and with the knowledge gained from the historical performance practice handed down in treatises. Thanks to imposing venues such as the church Maria Himmelfahrt in Niederlana with its impressive altar by Hans Schnatterpeck and its special acoustics, top-class concert enjoyment is pre-programmed.

The four cellists belong to different generations, but there are no differences when it comes to making music together. They have received extensive musical training in South Tyrol and abroad. In this concert programme, together with Andreas Benedikter on the organ, contrasting and exciting works are performed. In between, there are improvisations on the organ that refer to melodies and pieces just played by the cellists. The soft and warm sound of a cello quartet meets the power and spirituality of the organ. The Athesis Ensemble consists of musicians from South Tyrol and various regions of Italy. The instrumentation and size of the ensemble is variable - from a duo to a string orchestra. It combines a healthy mix of experience and youthful energy, consisting of teachers as well as chamber and orchestral musicians who love making music in small ensembles. The members of the ensemble regularly play in renowned orchestras, including the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, the Orchestra Cherubini, the Orchestra del Comunale di Bologna, the Orchestra dell'Opera di Roma, the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Orchestra Haydn di Bolzano e Trento and the Orchestra del Teatro Regio di Torino.

Advent is a time of anticipation, preparation, reflection, and quiet!
We set out together to discover the Christmas story at various locations, starting from the church and ending at the Antonius Chapel.
The KFS Stuls with Steffi looks forward to welcoming you.

The Christmas stories will be told in German.

An unusual assignment from God, seven overwhelmed angels, and seven surprised shepherds – and right in the middle, a talking, shining star. This is how a humorous nativity play begins, showing the birth of Jesus “behind the scenes.”
Because the prophets announced Christ’s arrival imprecisely, nothing is prepared: the schedule doesn’t fit, and the angels have to improvise. The result is a lively and warm-hearted chaos – with angels organizing frantically, shepherds barely able to believe what’s happening, and a star trying to keep everyone on track.

The event will take place only in German.
