And then there's music from the Ämmetau, from the church at the bottom and from the Höger at the top.
Lorenz Mühlemann: chord zither, violin zither, dulcimer, dulcimer, concertina, guitar, tenor horn
Thomas Keller: Hanottere, Häxeschit, Muörgeli, contraguitar, hand organ
The duo HANOTTERE plays a commented concert with a program to be announced. A musical declaration of love to a cheerful instrument with a silvery, brilliant sound, the Emmental Halszither, which has been forgotten for decades. Formerly called the Hanottere, it appears in Gotthelf's novels and was the fashionable instrument of the rural population in the early 19th century. The HANOTTERE ensemble thoroughly dusts off the Hanottere. We play folk music from the Alpine region and beyond, combining old, new and original, from tender and contemplative to cheerful and pulsating. We play distinctive melodies from ancient music books (Oberthal, around 1830) as well as compositions by Lorenz Mühlemann and freely invented musical stories such as the "Carneval de Sumiswald", which, performed in an improvisational spirit, always take on new twists and colors. And then there's the music from the Ämmitau, from the lower reaches of the Chräche and the highest from the Höger.
Lorenz Mühlemann opened the only museum for the zither in Switzerland in 1999 and is the author of 4 specialist books and more than 20 recordings. Since 2003, the Swiss Zither Cultural Center has been located in the rooms of the Amtsschaffnerei in Trachselwald, which was built in 1614. The operation goes far beyond a conventional museum; with its additional services such as a music school, workshop, specialist store, archive, sheet music publisher and concert agency, it is the national contact point for all things zither per se. With its lively course activities, commented concerts and versatile public relations work, it has been known for more than 25 years as the innovator of zither music and culture in Switzerland.

Thomas Keller has been interested in folk music for decades and has learned to play various instruments himself. Thomas doesn't read music, listens well, soon just plays along, is a folk music veteran and a gifted Hanötteler (player of the Emmental neck zither). He made a name for himself with Bernese dance music and later with formations such as Hiesix, Eigets, Neoländler, HANOTTERE
