Schrammel.Klang.Festival in Litschau
Schrammel.Klang.Festival is a music festival at Lake Herrensee in Litschau, in the Waldviertel region, founded in 2007 by Zeno Stanek to honor the town's historical link to Schrammel music's founding family. Its Schrammelpfad format sends audiences along a lakeside forest path to hear unamplified performances on natural stages, alongside evening concerts at the purpose-built Herrensee Theater, and the festival is repeatedly certified as an Austrian Green Event.
Zeno Stanek founded the Schrammel.Klang.Festival in 2007 at Lake Herrensee in Litschau, Austria's northernmost town, choosing the location because of its direct connection to Schrammel music's origins: clarinetist Kaspar Schrammel, father of the brothers who gave the genre its name, was born and raised in Litschau before moving to Vienna, where his sons Johann and Josef developed the string ensemble style now known worldwide as Schrammelmusik.
