An evening full of chanson, charm, and courtyard magic
The Waterburg Courtyard Concerts will open one of the most atmospheric places in the old town on September 18, 2026: the courtyard of Burg Maria Stern. There, musicians Heribert Haider and Tobias Jackl come together, combining Georg Kreisler's subtle wit, the dark elegance of chanson, and the precision of a chamber music live evening.
Focus on Georg Kreisler: biting, clever, timeless
The program Poisoning Pigeons – Georg Kreisler on his 104th Birthday relies on the special power of black humor and the pointed linguistic artistry for which Kreisler still stands today. His songs have long been part of the fixed canon of German-speaking musical cabaret and are even more immediate live: Each punchline hits, every twist carries weight, and every line unfolds its own dramaturgy in the concert hall or outdoors.
A courtyard as a stage for great intimacy
Burg Maria Stern brings exactly that live atmosphere that makes acoustic concerts so intense: short distances between the stage and the audience, fine dynamics, natural resonance, and a historic ambiance that adds depth to the evening. The Waterburg Courtyard Concerts consciously focus on hidden places, secret spots, and special perspectives of the city. This is where the magic arises that turns a concert into a real concert experience.
Between cabaret, song artistry, and musical precision
Heribert Haider as tenor and Tobias Jackl on piano provide the necessary balance of expression and control for the evening. The stage here does not live on grand gestures, but on fine orchestration, pointed synchronization, and a sense of timing. Particularly with Kreisler, this form unfolds its greatest charm: Words, melody, and stage performance intertwine until irony suddenly turns into melancholy.
A kickoff with history and attitude
The series is an invitation to experience Waterburg from an unusual closeness. The first date of the season opens a place that is not usually at the forefront as a classical concert venue, transforming it for one evening into a space for culture, encounter, and remembrance. The fact that admission is free makes the visit even more accessible and attractive for all who connect music with history and atmosphere.
Conclusion: Those who love Georg Kreisler or want to rediscover German-language chanson artistry will experience an evening with character, wit, and fine musical tension in Waterburg. The courtyard of Burg Maria Stern promises a special concert moment that feels close, personal, and unforgettable. Be there live and experience the special atmosphere on-site.
