Traditional Music

Trachtenkapelle - Lech Zurs, Austria Friday 4:30pm - Saturday 11:30am & 2:30pm - Sunday 12pm & 3pm

The Lech Town Band is comprised of a group of amateur musicians, spanning all ages.

As in any town band we play an integral part in the cultural and entertainment life of Lech - from the regular series of summer outdoor concerts to church festivities and ceremonies, to our annual gala concert, and to our renowned musical festivals.


Helmut Fricker Band Saturday 1pm & 4pm - Sunday 1:30pm

Helmut Fricker has been a fixture on the Vail Valley music scene since he came to Vail in 1972. A jovial, warm man with lines of an outdoorsman in his face and a mischievous twinkle in his eye — and one of the most celebrated members of the community. He has been bound by the constant rhythm of his work — making books and making music. A rhythm he has danced to his entire life. He is a gifted master at both. ~ The Vail Daily
