Günter WAGNLEITNER has been a fixture of the Austrian music scene since the late 1960s. As early as the 1950s, he performed in Linz, Salzburg, and Vienna engaging a musical concept that connected classical music and jazz; church music and blues; light opera and Rock n´ Roll. Needless to say, that pioneering approach met with the total rejection of the gatekeepers of High Culture. Günters rejection from the hallowed halls of teachers´ colleges in Linz and Salzburg the reason cited: seduction of youth with dangerous music became legendary within the scene. Before he finally concluded his studies (piano and singing) at the Mozarteum and took a position as a music teacher at the Salzburg and Upper Austrian music schools, he undertook 25 years of touring with his own bands in several European countries. He worked as a pianist-singer-entertainer on numerous cruises on board German and Soviet luxury liners in the Mediterranean, in the North and Baltic Seas, the Black Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean. Recently he has toured Austria and Germany with his brother´s Informance Jazz the Classical Music of Globalization.
