Montafoner Resonanzen is a music festival consisting of a series of events in the Montafon region of Vorarlberg (Austria).[1] It takes place annually on several weekends in August and September at varying locations.[2]
The next series of events will be held from 4 August to 11 September 2022.[3]
In 1977, the festival was founded by Bernd-H. Becher as series of events under the name of Montafoner Sommerkonzerte. The founder has accompanied the festival for over 20 years. The festival was constantly expanded.
After the re-establishment in 2002 by the Stand Montafon (an association of ten Montafon municipalities), the first Montafon summer took place in 2004. From 2004 to 2014, Nikolaus Netzer was responsible for the artistic direction. Since 2015, the festival runs under Markus Felbermayer as the organisational director, and Montafon Tourism as the organiser.
In 2017, the festival was renamed to Montafoner Resonanzen.[4]
The Montafoner Resonanzen festival has around 2,700 visitors per year. More than 80 artists appear at over 20 events. There are nine partner hotels in the valley taking care of the accommodation of the guests.[5] All concerts are performed at varying places that are authentic to the music, for example at the Tübinger hut on 2,191 m in Gaschurn ("Jazz at the Schutzhütte").[6]
