The legend goes that the Schmusechor was established about eight years ago in the bedroom of a flat share in Vienna. Today, we wouldn’t want to imagine the Austrian music world without it. Artistically directed by one-of-a-kind conductor Verena Giesinger, its (heart)beat and baton, the Schmusechor played sold-out shows at such venues as the ORF RadioKulturhaus Wien (solo), Volkstheater Wien (opening of tedx), Gartenbaukino (a musical reading with minusgold), wellenklaenge Lunz am See (solo), Konzerthaus Wien (with Violetta Parisini), the Austrian Film Award (opening gala) and others outside of Austria. The performances are unique regardless of their altitude – even 2,000 meters above sea level, as in the Lumen Museum of Mountain Photography in South Tyrol.
