Gmiedle beianônd – an evening for young and old
on Saturday, November 7 at 8.00 p.m. in the Kurhaus Fiskina
On November 7, it will happen again. The traditional costume association D’Holzar Fischen invites you to “Gmiedle beianônd” – an evening for young and old at the Kurhaus Fiskina in Fischen.
Once again this year, a varied program awaits the visitors:

From Switzerland, more precisely from the hamlet of Hüsliberg above Ebnat-Kappel in the canton of St. Gallen, comes the Jodelchörli Hüsliberg. The group has been around for almost 50 years now, with two founding members still active in the choir. In addition to eleven men, four women complete the Swiss singing group, which places great value on unadulterated Swiss folk songs with natural yodeling and “Stehgreiflieder.”

The instrumental accompaniment for the evening will be provided by d’Oimhittn-Musi from the Werdenfels region. The four young, passionate musicians, Toni Burkart on diatonic accordion, Martin Leitenbauer on diatonic accordion and Raffele, Quirin Ketterl on guitar, and Josef Porer on double bass, are dedicated to traditional folk music. In 2023, their first CD “Werdenfelserisch aufgspuit und gsunga” was released, and they will enrich the program musically on this evening with a broad repertoire. Afterwards, the four Upper Bavarians will play for dancing.

This year, the second yodeling group of the evening has home advantage: the Fischingar Jolarbuebe. Even though some of the “Jolarbue” have already gray hair, the 18 yodelers, including soloist Gabi Waibel, are constantly busy with performances or trips, for example, to Hamburg or at folklore events outside Germany. The group, founded in 1982, is musically led by Fischingen's music teacher and organist Thomas Kroll, who will surely prepare the “Jolar” vocally for this performance.

A special treat is the Gestratzer Goißlschnalzer. To the sounds of the diatonic accordion, the men swing their “Goißl.” And that requires skill because if the “Schmotz,” the part of the string responsible for the bang, hits one of the men, a cry of pain can be heard. Fortunately, the Gestratzer Goißlschnalzer are all true professionals, so the listeners need not worry on this evening.

This year's program will be hosted by Conny Ney. The dialect author is known for her performances in the cultural workshop and at the “Loose – sinne – lache” evening of the Fischinger cultural time in Allgäu and will surely bring along some clever anecdotes. The program will be rounded off by the club's own groups.


The Trachtenverein “D’Holzar” looks forward to a pleasant evening with young and old!
