Talk & Live in Concert

Bernhard Egger – host of the talk series On the Red Chair – chats with Gery Seidl and Christian Kolonovits about their successes, the many challenges in life, and their steep careers in music and cabaret, diving deep into the history and stories of the Austrian music scene.

The second half of the program is full of music. Gery Seidl takes the vocal microphone, the host plays drums, together with a fantastic band. Christian Kolonovits accompanies the ensemble on piano and, exclusively for this evening, assembles a chamber orchestra. It’s a unique mix of funny anecdotes and treasured Austrian songs, and a rare opportunity to see these two exceptional artists together on one stage!

The Band:
Gery Seidl – vocals
Christian Kolonovits – piano
Hanna Pichler – violin, vocals
Erich Buchebner – bass
Geri Schuller – keyboard
Bernhard Egger – drums
