Musical ice cave concerts 2024: Bernadette La Hengst / Peter Brugger
Music in the Ice cave: Dachstein Musical Ice Concerts.
In this August, the Dachstein Ice cave is transformed from the most popular excursion in Salzkammergut to a unique concert hall! Internationally renowned musicians of all genres gather in this special atmosphere to impress guests with their sounds which are anything but frosty! In the Dachstein giant Ice cave – one of the biggest Ice caves in the world – THE musical highlight of Salzkammergut takes place each year. The ‘Ice Sounds’ concert series offers a unique acoustic and visual experience within the mystical Parsifal Dome of the Dachstein Ice cave.
Guests can listen to music of various different genres within this crystal-clear atmosphere and before the backdrop of some bizarre ice formations with the genres encompassing classical, improvised jazz, swinging blues and boogie. International musicians, some of whom play for world-famous orchestras, transform the unique ambience into a concert hall with their bright dreamy sounds, bringing the listeners out in goose bumps – and not just because of the cold temperature!

This time with the musicians
Bernadette La Hengst and Peter Brugger
Bernadette La Hengst was, among other things, a singer and guitarist in the Hamburg band "Die Braut haut ins Auge" and works as a theatre director. From swinging pop songs to chansons and lovers soul, from funk and folk to rap and electro-dub, she convincingly combines point of view and revolt. She does the rest with guitar, piano and a wonderfully powerful and passionate voice. In between, there are piano contrasts from Schubert to Bruckner to expressive contemporary art.
