'Klausen klingt'

ARRIVING

19.08 - 21.08.2027

Every two years, “Klausen klingt” invites audiences to a three-day festival dedicated to early music. Concerts, literature and staged performances take place at various venues throughout Klausen, making the town itself an integral part of the festival.

The event opens with a musical reading. A South Tyrolean writer and a group of musicians create an atmospheric evening in which words and music come together in a captivating way.

The second day begins with a family concert for children aged four and above. Through an age-appropriate production, young audiences are offered a special and interactive encounter with music.

Later that day, the musical walk at Säben Monastery takes place. There, the audience can experience a musical and theatrical performance that forms the artistic highlight of the festival. A wine tasting hosted by the Eisacktal Winery on Säben Hill connects the artistic programme with the culture and flavours of the region.

On the third day, two concert programmes take place in the Parish Church of Klausen. Early and contemporary music enter into a lively dialogue, demonstrating how harmoniously different musical eras can come together.

Klausen klingt - Festival Early:Music

EDITION 2025

From 21 to 23 August 2025, the “Klausen klingt” music festival once again transformed the town’s historic venues into unique spaces filled with sound. The three-day festival opened in the historic Walther Hall with Miriam Unterthiner’s musical reading “Mein Brenner”, accompanied by Klaus Haidl on guitar and Jasmin Vorhauser on flute. On the second day, the musical walk “WOHIN” led participants up to Säben Monastery, where music, scenic performance and dance merged into an immersive experience. A wine tasting hosted by the Eisacktal Winery rounded off the evening. The festival concluded with two concerts in the Parish Church of St Andrew: the Cardinal Points ensemble presented “Himmelhoch jauchzend, zum Tode betrübt”, followed by ensemble freymut with “The Future of the Past”, bringing together sounds from the past and the present. For three days, music, dance and the spoken word came to life in Klausen in a truly special way.


2023 EDITION

Chiusa, the city of artists, came alive with vibrant Baroque and Renaissance music: from August 17 to 19, 2023, ten artists from Central Europe invited audiences to a diverse music festival set in the magnificent locations of Chiusa.

Far from Home” was the title of this year’s festival.
Klausen klingt opened with a musical reading in the Walther Hall, where actor Bernhard Georg Rusch recounted his grandfather’s experiences away from home. On the second day, a musical hike with wine tasting through the vineyards led to the Monastery of Sabiona, which was transformed into a convivial setting for a harmonious culinary gathering.
The final day took place in the evocative setting of the Parish Church of St. Andreas, where, under the theme “Wanderers of Old,” accordionist Kurt Gold performed chamber music. The closing concert by the Ensemble L’Aminta offered a deep dive into the innovative sounds of the early Baroque period.

Audiences were enchanted by shifting timbres and unusual harmonies, conveyed in a language that spoke to all.
