“Pop meets classic” – an unforgettable musical evening

swings. A highlight this year is Wilhering’s summer “pop meets classic” at Stiftsscheune Wilhering. The concert program presented by Hans-Peter Gratz and Friends – a mixture of their piano-oriented compositions with well-known classical tunes – delighted the audience.

Last weekend, an evening took place between classics, pop, tradition and modernity, causing thunderous applause with international tenor Iurie Ciobanu (Milan Scala) and the famous soprano Manuela Dumvart (Beijing Opera). “With Hans-Peter Gratz, his band and internationally experienced singers, the audience witnessed a fireworks show of the new and familiar, exciting and dreamy – just an unforgettable evening.”The program ranged from what is probably Puccini Turandot’s most famous tenor song “Nesun Dorma” to the classic “I Only Belong to Me” to the unforgettable tune “The Lonely Shepherd” by James Last and the cute piano theme from the movie “Forrest Gump.”
