Bad Wiessee – Anniversary instead of lake festival for Bad Wiessee: For the 100th anniversary there is a world premiere with Trovasur and Perlseer Dirndl.

Hoamatbeat is also included.

Wiessee celebrates in 2022 that it received the title "Bad" 100 years ago.

To mark the anniversary, there will be a colorful four-day program with live music and a special project from June 30th to July 3rd.

Instead of the lake festival, Bad Wiessee is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022.

The unique occasion is celebrated in style and offers a premiere: the Combo Trovasur and the Perlseer Dirndl are doing something together.

The result is a musical experiment.

You can hear it on Saturday, July 2, at 8 p.m., after "Hoamatbeat" had already heated up the visitors from 5 p.m.

What connects Mexico and Bavaria

The two groups want to present a Bavarian-South American program – one known for Cuban sounds in a Bavarian style, the other for clear Bavarian triads.

The Tegernsee composer and arranger Thomas Rebensburg brought the artists together.

Georg Höß, frontman of Trovasur, recently explained how the project came about at a meeting to mark the anniversary.

On the one hand he remembered the beginnings as a birthday combo with a Mexican Mariachi repertoire and on the other hand he remembered the music-historical roots of South American music, which also lie in the Alpine region.

Further information, including tickets, is available at www.tegernsee.com/wiessee100.

The military orchestra of Maximilian I of Mexico also played a role in this process.

He was a Habsburg and a grandson of Bavaria's King Max I Joseph.

In its approximately 7,000-strong, Austro-Mexican volunteer corps, there were also 60 Alpine musicians.

Their style was incorporated into the Mariachi sounds as well as Hungarian and Slavic music, which then went around the world.

Spanish texts learning challenge

"These Bavarian pieces now need to be re-imported," explained Georg Höß.

Thomas Rebensburg takes on this task.

In addition, he has to integrate the triad by Michaela Brückner (first voice and harp), Susanne Wiesner (second voice and violin) and Christina Meier (third voice and clarinet) into the arrangements.

"The three-part composition of South American music is very parallel to Bavarian music," said Susanne Wiesner from Rottach-Egern, who was also present at the event.

"The biggest challenge for us is learning the Spanish lyrics." But it's worth the effort, she's sure.
