Welcome Reception

Music: MYTHA is alpine sagas, myths and contemporary music woven into one unique musical experience. Hans Kennel, MYTHA spiritus rector, is the authority when it comes to Swiss Alpine World Music. He has graciously mentored most of its uprising protagonists. Phil Powell, Marcel Huonder and Marc Unternährer are some of the finest musicians among them. What they achieve with alphorn, Büchel or Neverlure is beautifully unique. Lately, they invited singer-songwriter Betty Legler to join them. Her vocal performance reaches from elf-like reciting to powerful high-density jodelling and adds yet another authentic dimension to MYTHA wonderful journey across alpine soundscapes.

Music: Atrio+ invites you to discover the musical universe created by its musicians through well or less well known classics. The four friends who initiated this formation in 2004 (Karine Morel: vocals, Timo Sulc: piano, Manu Hagmann: bass, Fred Thierstein: drums) like to lead their auditors towards a harmonious and soft atmosphere through Karine Morel satin-smooth voice, or the frenzied rhythm of the trio accompanying her. While drawing from the swing from the 40’s, the be-bop, latin-jazz or more actual tendencies, Karine, Timo, Manu and Fred try to approach the music they love by always different ways.
Talks: 10th Anniversary of EPDIC, animated by Herbert Göbel and all chairpersons of preceding EPDICs.
Powder Diffraction is 90 years old, given by Wojciech Paszkovicz: The events leading to the discovery and evolution of powder-diffraction phenomenon will be reviewed.
