open air concerts on the historic market place

Historic

The salt music is as much a part of Hallstatt as the numerous sights of the ancient salt production site in the heart of Austria. The "Salinenmusik" (name of the brass band) is one of the oldest chapels in the Salzkammergut after the "Bürgermusik Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt" (name of the brass band), which was founded in 1834. In the region between the imperial Bad Ischl and the tradition-conscious Ausseerland, the formation is one of many factory bands. It was integrated into the salt works until 1983, when the association was founded. While the band was founded by miners in 1837, today hardly any members are actively employed by Salinen Austria AG (Name of the company that mines the salt in Hallstatt). This joint-stock company based in Ebensee, which still supports the "Musi" today, is not only known throughout Austria in the region for its successful salt mining, but also operates one of the most successful sights in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut. All year round, the "Bergmann Orchestra" invites visitors and guests from all over the world to a musical rendezvous on land and water. The repertoire ranges from traditional marches to current pop music. But musical wake-up calls on selected holidays are also on the program of the numerous musicians. So open your ears for the Salinenmusikkapelle during your holiday in Hallstatt. We'll hear you!
