Snuggle Concert

In this series, small ensembles and soloists from the various departments of the Haus der Musik Innsbruck perform in the Small Hall, which is specially designed for babies. The six “snuggle concerts” feature varied, age-appropriate concert programs lasting approximately 30–40 minutes, ranging from classical to jazz to folk music. Music educator Sascha Rathey (flutist with the TSOI) hosts the concerts and collaborates with the musicians to create a suitable program.

Edoné Quartet
Selina Danzl, Laetitia Praxmarer, Hanna Messner, Katharina Lardschneider (flutes)

Founded in 2021, the Edoné Quartet consists of Selina
Danzl, Laetitia Praxmarer, Hanna Messner, and Katharina Lardschneider. As their ensemble name Edoné (“delight, enthusiasm”) suggests, the four flutists share a great passion: the joy of making music together. They met while studying at the Tyrolean State Conservatory and the Mozarteum. For the “cozy concert,” they are expanding their repertoire to include pieces with vocals and piano!

“CaraMellas” Solo & Trio
Carina Köninger (horn), Melanie Rigo (clarinet), Alexandra Milborn (piano)

An exciting combination of clarinet, horn, piano, and vocals enchants not only as an ensemble but also in various solo parts. From classical composers like Mozart to modern repertoire, everything is represented in a colorful mix. The three students—Alexandra, Melanie, and Carina—from the Master IGP program at the Mozarteum Innsbruck are looking forward to a cozy concert together with all visitors, young and old.

“String Sounds”
Hannah Rabl (harp), Amelie Schuster (violin)

Hannah and Amelie met while studying instrumental and vocal pedagogy together at the Mozarteum. The two students have been performing as a duo since spring 2024. On the concert harp and violin, they bring well-known and lesser-known melodies from classical, folk, and pop music to life. Primarily, Hannah and Amelie play calm and romantic pieces from the classical repertoire, though of course a little “showstopper”—a cheerful and lively piece of music—is a must in between. From dreamy-melancholic to fiery-cheerful sounds, the duo brings a diverse program to the stage. The gentle tones of the harp and violin invite you to listen and immerse yourself in the world of sound for 30 minutes.

The Musical Toolbox – Pieces forFlute, Cello, andPiano
Pantxoa Urtizberea (flute), Jakob Mitterer (cello), Nika Afazel (piano)

Just like in real life, there are things in the world of music that you hear more often than others. While you come across a string quartet every now and then, you probably have to search longer before you get to hear the combination of flute, cello, and piano. What a shame! Because the combination of these three instruments is something like a small orchestra in itself. All timbres are there; all instrumental groups are represented.

The flute whistles in the high register, the cello hums in the low register, and the piano hammers—sometimes loud, sometimes soft—across all registers. Thus, this ensemble is something like a small toolbox for composers.
In this concert, the audience can therefore look forward to composers from past centuries who worked with these musical tools and crafted the most beautiful melodies.

Duo Lumina
Greta Franzelin (saxophone), Sophie Oberleitner (guitar)

Guitar and saxophone—a rather unusual combination! And that’s exactly why guitarist Sophie Oberleitner and saxophonist Greta Franzelin have arranged a program that takes them on a colorful musical journey together. The program features tranquil, meditative sounds, rhythmic melodies of Argentine tango and Eastern European folklore, as well as a number of familiar tunes—a vibrant interplay of musical diversity.
