Having Klangvierterl play at our wedding ceremony and agape created such a special atmosphere and set the stage for the rest of evening. Not only did they play beautiful and festive music, but it also felt like they were celebrating with us. We'll never forget waltzing through the venue's rose garden to Klangvierterl's music. (Katherine & Lorenz)

Unique arrangements are available and created based on your wishes, and the Klangvierterl also collaborates regularly with an operatic vocalist specialised in pop music, who can sing your favorite songs for any occasion. 

The Klangveierterl can transform any concert, visit to a Heuriger, event or private party (weddings, holiday and birthday parties, etc.) to a personal musical treat. 

 

Our requests were transformed by the Klangvierterl into a beautiful musical experience that made our wedding ceremony enchanting. Working together with them was uncomplicated and easy, we would always choose the Klangvierterl again! (Johanna & Zsolt)

CD „Auf Wiener Art“

„Es wird a Wein sein, und mir werd’n nimma sein […]“ –

"The wine will always be here, but we won’t” - Vienna, wine, love and mortality - these are the themes that are at the core of Viennese Music and the Wienerlied. On the Klangvierterl’s first album you will not only find popular songs, but also a few rarities from composers who enriched Viennese dance music just as much as the waltz king, Johann Strauss Sohn.

The CD is available upon request. Please contact the musicians directly.

About Us

Since 2011, Klangvereingiung’s folk music ensemble, called Klangvierterl, has performed primarily in Vienna and surrounding cities. The quartet’s guiding principle is to interpret classic Viennese Music in a contemporary setting. In addition to concert appearances and recording, the group has appeared in the television program Klingendes Österreich and performed at the Schrammelfestival and the Oster-Erlebnismarkt. 

„A brilliant quartet of a special kind“ (NÖ Nachrichten)

The name Klangvierterl  signifies the connection between Music and Geselligkeit, or conviviality, as well as the relationship between the four musicians, with reference to the fact that a vierterl, or quarter, forms a part of the Klangvereinigung. The word vierterl can also refer to a quarter note in sheet music, and it is not a coincidence that this is a play on words for the way in which one orders a vierterl, or quarter of a liter of wine at a Heuriger (wine-tavern).

Bernhard Winkler (Violin), Leopold Winkler (Clarinet), Gerald Mair (Contrabass, Voice, Arrangements) and Dragoljub Brkic (Accordion) are all experienced chamber musicians . At the beginning of their collaboration, they specialized in Viennese music, but have since expanded their repertoire to include a variety of genres.

The repertoire of the ensemble includes Wienerlieder [Viennese Songs], Polkas, Waltzes, Tangos, classical chamber music, as well as contemporary pieces. If something is not yet in the repertoire, the Klangvierterl is ready, willing, and able to perform custom arrangements of your personal favorites.

„The four musicians […] are masters of their instruments and as a quartet, even in this unique constellation, are excellent“ (NÖ Nachrichten)
