A Christmas concert with the Austrian trio Diatonische Expeditionen. On a diatonic expedition, tradition meets innovation. The Austrian trio Diatonische Expeditionen takes listeners on a musical journey through alpine folk music, jazz, pop, classical, and their own compositions. They blend the unique sound of the Styrian button accordion with smooth alto vocals and the full, sparkling ring of a harp. Theresa Lehner, Katharina Baschinger and Alexander Maurer are excited to share a facet of the Austrian musical soul, rich in tradition and diversity, with audiences in the United States. Diatonische Expeditionen, founded in 2017, has performed in various venues, including the jazz club "Porgy & Bess" in Vienna and "Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival" in Germany. Their music has been broadcast by Austrian Radio ORF and featured on national television in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. The trio's music is also fueled by substantial musicianship; all of the musicians have undergone rigorous training at conservatoire level. Notably, Alexander Maurer is the first performer on the Styrian button accordion worldwide to have secured a tenured professorial rank at prestigious Anton Bruckner University in Linz.
