Musical enjoyment at the church concert by the Pöllau brass band
“Sursum Corda – Lift up your hearts” – Under this title, the Pöllau brass band invites you to a very special concert in the parish church of Pöllau near Hartberg on October 25, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. Shortly before All Saints' Day, a concert experience with contemplative music and moving texts will be offered in the atmospheric setting of the parish church. The musical direction will be provided by the proven bandmaster Rainer Pötz. The selected works, including October by Eric Whitacre and Das Liebesmahl der Apostel (The Love Feast of the Apostles) by Richard Wagner, will fill the parish church of Pöllau with melodious harmonies.
Between the musical pieces, moving texts will be read aloud, setting the mood for the quiet time around All Saints' Day and encouraging reflection. The Pöllau band was able to enlist the Austrian actor Johannes Silberschneider, whose expressive voice will make the Pöllau parish church shine in a special way.
