history
In 1975 the former band leader Helmut Freydl co-founded the group Mooskirchner Quintett . They presented their home Styria as a professional music group in Europe since the 1970s and stood on stage for up to 300 days a year. Music was played together in this formation for 15 years until Helmut Freydl reorganized the group as Die Mooskirchner in 1989 due to professional changes made by some musicians .
The first album recorded with a new line-up was Es Klingt Musik and was awarded the gold record. From then on, the clarinetist Helmut Färber contributed to the group's success as a composer and arranger .
The Mooskirchner have already been referred to as the Philharmonic of folk music in international specialist circles , although they also interpret hard rock pieces.
The Mooskirchner were subsequently invited to all known popular television programs, repeated times in Karl Moik's Musikantenstadl . Over 3000 appearances in Austria, Italy, South Tyrol, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey, some Mediterranean cruises and an Australian tour with an appearance at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne , where George Harrison joined them so far.
Long-time accordionist Helmut Freydl announced that he would be leaving the band in 2012 for professional reasons. He was succeeded by Mario Pirsterer, former accordionist of the Grazer Spatzen . The first album with the new line-up was Men have luck with original compositions by Mario Pirsterer.
