Cello Sound Above the Chiemgau Alps: The IsarCellists at the Rauchalm
On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the Rauchalm near Frasdorf will transform into an extraordinary sound space. At the chamber concerts "On the Alm", alpine nature, mountain scenery, and the immediate proximity to the musicians of the Munich Philharmonic come together. The matinee concert with the cello quartet IsarCellists promises an intense concert experience among wood, hay, and high-class chamber music.
Music that lets the mountain breathe
The series “On the Alm” has been considered a cultural highlight in Chiemgau for years. In 2026, five chamber concerts will again take place at the Frasdorf Niederalmen, including the matinee of the IsarCellists at 11:30 AM at the Rauchalm. The setting is deliberately approachable and sensory: no shuttle ride, but a walking path up to the alm, which makes the concert visit part of the experience.
A Quartet with Deep Tone Quality
The IsarCellists are a pure cello quartet, consisting of Floris Mijnders, Sissy Schmidhuber, Sven Faulian, and Manuel von der Nahmer. This rare formation promises a warm, sustaining, and surprisingly mobile sound. When four cellos meet on the alm, a special orchestration of depth, rhythm, and melting emerges, which would feel different in a classic concert hall.
Alpine Scenery Instead of Red Velvet
The Rauchalm is located above Frasdorf and is part of the Frasdorf Niederalmen, which are accessible by about an hour’s hike. According to the organizer, the alms are not barrier-free and not directly reachable by car. This shapes the atmosphere: those who walk up arrive already decelerated and experience the live atmosphere much more directly. Drinks and catering at the alm complete the day and create a concert feel with a regional character.
Why This Concert is Special
The concert series has been combining alpine nature with musical excellence since 2012 and has made a name for itself far beyond Bavaria. The proximity to the musicians, the unusual performance venue, and the combination of hiking experience and chamber music create an evening that is not only heard, but experienced with all senses. That is where the special magic of this matinee lies: first the path, then the sound, then the view over the mountains.
Conclusion: Those who experience the IsarCellists at the Rauchalm do not get an ordinary concert but a atmospheric total experience of nature, movement, and fine chamber music. Plan early, wear sturdy shoes, and experience the alm live.
