A look at the musical roots

The music of the Railers draws from a rich tradition that has its origin in the southern states of the United States. Famous musicians such as Elvis Presley and Louis Armstrong have made this region a distinctive center for music. Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, where Elvis lived, still attracts fans from all over the world and is a national historic landmark. Jazz legend Armstrong, born in New Orleans, has made a decisive contribution to the development of jazz with his work. Such influences and stories are also reflected in the sounds of the Railers and make their music particularly alive and appealing for the audience.

For everyone who longs for an unforgettable evening full of music and culture, the concert of the Railers in the courtyard of the conservatory is an absolute must. It is the opportunity to experience the relaxed atmosphere of southern music up close and at the same time to support the band that tries to preserve and pass on this musical heritage.
