Schlachthof Sessions is curated by Giangee — DJ, producer, and someone who’s always believed in the power of music when it’s given space to breathe. The idea is simple: to create nights where music truly matters. Where artists can express themselves freely, without pressure or pretence. The vibe is closer to a hidden room than a club — warm lights, honest sound, and a crowd that listens. No ego. No formulas. Just deep grooves and shared moments. From dubby rhythms to hypnotic house and beyond, every session is a carefully crafted journey. We pause after our final date on July 4th, and return in September, recharged. This isn’t about trends. It’s about presence. It’s about the art of sound. 16.5. FR - #1 – Davide Piras B2B Giangee 23.5. FR - #2 – Overriver 30.5.

The South Tyrolean capital of Bolzano, recently designated a UNESCO Creative City of Music, is once again preparing to host one of Europe’s most prestigious cultural events in the summer of 2025: the Bolzano Festival Bozen. Each year, the festival brings together exceptional creative talents, as students from top international music academies collaborate with world-class soloists and conductors to present concerts of the highest artistic quality. Throughout the city, the air is filled with the energy of discovery and shared passion for classical music. Bolzano Festival Bozen is more than a series of concerts – it is a unique cultural platform that unites four key components of the city’s musical identity: the Antiqua Festival of Early Music, the Gustav Mahler Academy, the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition, and the two prestigious youth orchestras-in-residence, the European Union Youth Orchestra and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. Founded by Claudio Abbado, these ensembles symbolize a shared European vision and have found their summer home in Bolzano. The festival offers a rich and diverse program, where young talent and legendary musicians come together to rehearse, perform, and inspire. Among the highlights of the 2025 edition are the final rounds of the renowned Ferruccio Busoni Piano Competition, a performance by Sir John Eliot Gardiner with the Mahler Academy Orchestra as they explore the authentic soundscapes of early 20th-century music, and the celebrated cellist Pablo Ferrández – often referred to as “the new Yo-Yo Ma” – performing with the European Union Youth Orchestra under the baton of Vasily Petrenko. Also appearing are violinist Sayaka Shoji with the Bolzano String Academy, and acclaimed performers Alina Ibragimova and Renaud Capuçon, who will join the EUYO and GMJO under Iván Fischer and Manfred Honeck, respectively. For a festival whose founding motto is “music and youth,” it’s only natural that children and young audiences are not just welcomed, but encouraged to attend. In 2025, the festival’s family-friendly offerings are being expanded even further. Children are often far more open to classical music than one might expect. In fact, during the so-called “open-eared” phase – typically the first ten years of life – they show remarkable receptiveness and curiosity, even toward complex or contemporary works. This makes it an ideal time to introduce them to the world of classical music in an engaging, meaningful way. On August 14 at 7:30 PM at the Bolzano Municipal Theatre, the European Union Youth Orchestra will perform with violinist Alina Ibragimova under the direction of Iván Fischer. Prior to the concert, there will be a special introduction to the evening's program, focusing on Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Audiences will explore the Russian folktale that inspired the famous ballet and, with help from the musicians, learn to recognize musical motifs that will reappear during the performance. This introduction will be presented bilingually in Italian and German. Another special opportunity will take place on September 6 at the Bolzano Municipal Theatre (time to be confirmed), when the public is invited to attend the orchestral rehearsal for the Busoni Competition’s grand final. Since the final performance, accompanied by the Haydn Orchestra, is traditionally sold out and broadcast live on Italian television and streamed worldwide, this rehearsal offers young music lovers a rare chance to experience the intensity and behind-the-scenes atmosphere of a major international event. The theatre will be abuzz with activity, as the RAI sets up its equipment and prepares for the live transmission. Broadcast professionals will be on hand to explain how a concert is brought to audiences across the globe.

Get ready for an electrifying concert with the Joe Gleixner Bigband! With over 20 musicians, their diverse repertoire turns every event into a highlight. With tailor-made arrangements from their own composers, each concert becomes a truly unique experience. Start: 8:30 PM at the village square in Eggen (in case of bad weather, in the community hall). The Schützen will provide refreshing drinks.

Summer encounters for young and old Musical and culinary delights in the Mals pedestrian zone Theme: Let's Rock Organised by the Schützen company Mals with musical entertainment by the group Nameless There will be a great supporting programme with rock songs and oldies from the 60s and 70s.

The festival day itself on Sunday will culminate in a joyful celebration with typical dishes, music, encounters and workshops for both children and adults, all centered around bread and the traditions that surround it. A warm and inclusive event, open to all – a moment to reconnect with the land, with craftsmanship, and with each other. During the event photos or video footage may be taken for the purpose of documentation and promotion of the event and the region. The footage may be used and published on websites, on social networks and on media in compliance with the data protection regulations.

Mozart wrote his six Viennese piano trios in the summer months of 1786 and 1788, probably intended for his circle of Viennese friends, where such works were particularly popular for chamber music. The trios are distinguished by their beautiful melodies, varied harmonic interweaving, and skillful combination of instruments. For many Mozart connoisseurs, some of the piano trios are among the most beautiful Mozart ever wrote. Among these are K 502 and K 542, which will be performed in the concert at the Hofburg in Bressanone, with Tobias Koch on fortepiano, Ulrike Engel on violin, and Kaspar Singer on cello.

The Sarner people – unique in character and language “Aa söü!” (ach so! - meaning “oh, really?”) is the Sarner way of expressing interest or wonder, and with this they usually evoke bewilderment and curiosity among outsiders. For a typical Sarner is inimitable. They are well-known throughout South Tyrol for their sharp wit, and their instinctive astuteness is celebrated in countless ‘Sarner jokes’. They love their valley and its cultural treasure trove. The Sarner dialect has survived in its original, distinctive form with melodious, sonorous endings, usually finishing with an ‘a’ or ‘aar’. The dialect is a much satirised characteristic beyond the valley’s borders and appears to others at the same time coarse and sublime. In addition, the vowel sounds and words vary considerably from place to place. Church-goers on the village squares of Sarnthein, Pens and Durnholz meet together after Sunday Mass and ‘hoangartn’, or ‘chat’. One of the best occasions to become familiar with the Sarner dialect is at South Tyrol’s best known and largest annual fair, the ‘Sarner Kirchtag’ which takes place each year on the first weekend in September.

Upcycling Band – Sustainable and Creative Music The Upcycling Band is a fascinating ensemble of four professional percussionists and multi-instrumentalists from the Trentino-South Tyrol region. The group represents all three linguistic communities of the region – German, Italian, and Ladin – and uses music as a universal form of communication. In the spirit of sustainability, they play exclusively on instruments and sound objects handcrafted by Max Castlunger, all made from repurposed materials. This not only creates a unique sound experience but also adds a striking visual element to their performances. Their music is inspired by various global musical traditions, taking the audience on a journey to distant lands. On stage, they use over 50 original instruments, all crafted from recycled materials and capable of producing unexpected sounds. The band has performed at numerous prestigious events, including the Sustainability Days in Bolzano, the 10th Bavarian CSR Day in Munich, the Ambria Jazz Festival, the Sella Ronda Hero, Runkelstein Castle, the Euregio Cultural Center Grand Hotel Toblach, the 2nd Festival of Regions in Turin, the House of Museums in Olten (CH), the Thurgau Nature Museum (CH), the Basel Historical Music Museum (CH), and many more. Their performances are a remarkable example of creativity and sustainability in music.
