Hubert von Goisern

What's it about?

After a three-year stage break: Hubert von Goisern announces 2027 tour – an open musical field between outlooks and retrospectives. Loud and quiet. Whether too loud or too quiet is a question he poses to the audience. "Too loud? Really? I don't worry about that. I'm more interested in where that limit lies for the audience." "I go into every concert with a curiosity about what will happen that evening – at least as curious as the audience." When Hubert von Goisern goes on tour again in 2027, three years will have passed since he last stood before an audience in a concert format. However, he was never silent during this time. As part of the Capital of Culture 2024, Goisern was on the road for an entire summer – with spontaneous, short-notice announced concerts, with changing guests and lineups. Musical encounters that defied any planning. The road created closeness and opened up a new artistic freedom. "I was never gone. I was out, on the road, playing – with whoever happened to be there. I invited people, whoever had time was there. Learning to deal with constantly changing situations was both a challenge and an enrichment. We played about 50 concerts. That wasn't a vacation – it was better than a vacation." Much of what emerged in 2024 will continue to have an effect – not as a concept, but as an attitude. Hubert von Goisern has always been an artist who has eluded the predictable. His music moves between tradition and innovation, between quiet moments and radical breaks. His style was never static – but always in flux. "Actually, I'm someone who prepares everything meticulously. But this was about experimenting, about letting myself be surprised. The appeal for me lies in the interplay, in connecting things that perhaps don't even belong together. I've never repeated myself – why should I start now?" The new tour will pick up exactly there: not as a reproduction of existing programs, but as an open musical field in which things are allowed to develop. Loud and quiet – also as different musical approaches that will run through the tour. "I know that some would be happy if I just played familiar songs. But I have enough to do to meet my own expectations. Besides, there are also those who would be disappointed if I didn't come up with anything new." Time as a quiet companion "Heast as nit, wia die Zeit vergeht …?" (Don't you hear how time passes...?) Is there anything more fleeting than music? It is as fleeting as time itself.
