It was in the year 1831, when the Strasser Siblings from Zillertal Valley sang “Silent Night! Holy Night!” in Leipzig, Germany. The memorable concert is chronicled in this musical play at Schwaz.
The Strasser siblings, lovingly dubbed “The Larks from Zillertal Valley” by their admirers, were travelling traders who performed Tirolean folk songs as a way to advertise their wares. On December 15, 1831, the Strasser siblings performed their version of “Silent Night! Holy Night!” at the Leipzig Christmas Fair. This was the first documented performance of the carol outside of Austria.
Today’s “Larks from Zillertal Valley”, who will take to the stage at the Schwaz SZentrum in December as the Strasser siblings are Sophia Keiler, Simone Mitterer, Michaela Gruber and Paul Haberl.
