The exhibition brings together people who, in the creation of the artistic act, bring out certain echoes from the past, present and future, making them part of a unique time, and exercising the political and salvific power of the reconstruction process.

Glaciers can play an important role in the regional water balance, they store a not insignificant amount of water on the mainland and they are important indicators of changes in the climate. Man-made climate change is in full swing and is also affecting glaciers. Their extent and their function as seasonal water reservoirs are changing, they contribute significantly to sea level rise and they are important indicators that climate change (i) is a global phenomenon and (ii) manifests itself not only in temperature changes. Particularly worrying processes are now taking place on the two large "glaciers", the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. The lecture will take a "journey" in climate change from an Alpine glacier via tropical glaciers onto and under the ice sheets and back.

Brixen Water Light Festival - Side Event Gletscher können eine wichtige Rolle im regionalen Wasserhaushalt spielen, sie speichern eine nicht unwesentliche Menge an Wasser auf dem Festland, und sie sind wichtige Indikatoren für Veränderungen im Klima. Der meschgemachte Klimawandel ist in vollem Gang und trifft auch die Gletscher. Ihre Ausdehnung und Ihre Funktion als saisonaler Wasserspeicher ändern sich, sie tragen signifikant zum Anstieg des Meeresspiegels bei und sie sind wichtige Hinweisgeber dafür, dass der Klimawandel (i) ein globales Phänomen ist und (ii) sich nicht nur in Temperaturänderungen manifestiert. Auf den beiden großen "Gletschern", den Eisschilden in Grönland und in der Antarktis, finden mittlerweile besonders besorgniserregende Vorgänge statt. Der Vortrag wird eine "Reise" im Klimawandel von einem Alpengletscher über tropische Gletscher auf und unter die Eisschilde und zurück machen. Eintritt frei!

The music band "Peter Sigmair" organizes its spring concert for all music enthusiasts. Begin: 8.30 p.m Place: Kongresshaus Olang

"Saltbrennt" means "self-distilled" and refers to spirits distilled by hand in the Tyrolean Oberland. In addition, "Saltbrennt" is a band with roots in western Austria, who extract their own personal delicacies from blues, funk and folk tunes and fuse them into a musical mixed drink. Saltbrennt stands for home-made music, refined with various genre flavours and a hint of male vocalists. The Alpingroove quartet captivates with musical sophistication and 4-part charm live and on recordings, in English, German and Tyrolean. STEINEGG LIVE IN BLUES - The Steinegg-Live cultural association is offering a slightly different kind of concert for the 14th time in April 2024. The idea is that of a "shared experience". In this case, instead of the band playing on stage and the audience sitting "downstairs" as usual, everything takes place on stage. The audience sits next to the musicians and thus experiences the feeling and the sound much more intensively and authentically. In this case, of course, it is blues - in all its facets. Age limit: 18 to 99 years (in exceptional cases also over 99 - no exception for U18) Limited number of participants! Booking necessary!

(FILM) Bob Marley: One Love USA 2024, 108 Min. Director: Reinaldo Marcus Green with: Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch, James Norton, Anthony Welsh... 1976: Civil war-like conditions prevail in Jamaica. To promote peace and understanding among his fellow countrymen, Bob Marley announces a big free concert in the capital Kingston. Shortly before the date, however, armed men break into the house where the reggae star lives with his wife Rita, their children and a few friends and accompanying musicians. Without hesitation, the men shoot wildly. There are several serious injuries, but fortunately no fatalities. In order to keep his family and his band safe, Marley agrees to move to London with them temporarily. There he records "Exodus", his most important album both musically and in terms of his message, with which he finally rises to global superstardom. However, the still delicate situation in his home country does not allow him to rest, nor does an illness that initially appears subtle but soon becomes more and more persistent. (MUSIC) -Wicked and Bonny on Botheration Hifi Soundsystem- Wicked And Bonny is a sound crew from Botheration Hifi. If Lee Perry and Optimus Prime had produced music together, the result would probably sound something like Wicked and Bonny: robotic basses marching forwards, a crazy heavy dose of live effects and various vocals in rub-a-dub style. Most of the time, Wicked and Bonny's sound performance is packed with an energetic Mc like Berise, Looking, Berise. Wicked and Bonny are known for their authentic Future Dub beyond the borders of the holy land of Tyrol and have played over 500 shows in clubs and at festivals all over Europe. Various releases such as "Ich bin wie ich bin" or "Boom Sound" the "Sound done Scatter" have led to international success in a very vital underground scene. The first album, "Daily Hustle", was released in 2021. Various outputs also came from their second home Napoli last year, such as the hit song "Chest é Napoli. In 2021, the Wicked and Bonny Family expanded and founded the W&B label, which now aims to constantly release new music and promote young talent. -Lions Quarter Soundsystem- -Trailertekk Soundsystem- -Mistical Soundsystem (Palermo) In cooperation with: FILMCLUB Centro Giovani Connection

In this concert programme, the Ensemble VocalArt Brixen dedicates itself to Anton Bruckner (* 1824 in Ansfelden, Upper Austria; † 1896 in Vienna), who set new standards with his compositions for a cappella choir and created a series of motets that are still considered icons of choral music today. In the middle of the 19th century, a far-reaching reform movement emerged in church music with the Cecilian movement, originating in Regensburg, in order to put an end to Viennese Classicism, which was considered too operatic. In the spirit of a misunderstood and greatly simplified vocal polyphony after Palestrina, attempts were made to impose an overly bigoted character on Musica Sacra, but this ran the risk of condemning musically high-quality literature or putting a permanent stop to its new creation. Bruckner understood these dynamics and attempted to counteract them by developing a style that was both in tune with the times, but also genuinely "ecclesiastical" in a certain sense, and which was at least not intended to contradict the strict Cecilianists a priori. With the echoes of 16th century polyphony and the choice of unaccompanied choral singing, which until then had been the exception rather than the rule, the composer achieved a simple but solemn grandeur, which he certainly knew how to heighten to monumental proportions using the tone-painting devices of high and late Romanticism. Bruckner composed his "Os justi" as a reaction to ultra-chromatic choral music by Giuseppe Verdi, for example: entirely in the Lydian church key (F major without a predetermined B flat), he dispenses with additional accidentals, diminished chords or alterations throughout the piece, thus proving that expressive music can be created with seemingly simple means. In this programme, between the large motets, we hear some rarely heard, smaller-structured works from Bruckner's early years, which attempt to trace the composer's development in a multi-dimensional way. In the middle of the programme, you can hear an organ work by César Franck, who has one thing in common with Bruckner besides his age, namely his openness to the groundbreaking compositional innovations of Richard Wagner. At times, this led to a veritable war of positions between "Brucknerians" and "Brahmsians" among the musicians of Vienna. Amidst all these influences, Bruckner succeeded in developing an unmistakable style in the field of tension between time-honoured vocal polyphony, Austrian local colour (Viennese Classicism) and late Romantic symphonic music.
