Listening to love, feeling words: An evening between reading and music
On February 28, 2026, the magic of dialect meets finely spun melodies at the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein: REIWAS and the young author and journalist Johannes Thalmayr combine folk, pop, and poetry into a literary experience that speaks to the heart and mind – close to the stage, close to the encounter with the author.
The reading atmosphere: Sound colors that carry stories
Three-part harmonies, accordion, guitar, double bass, and a subtly set drum – REIWAS creates a warm sound stage where Thalmayr's Bavarian poems shine. Poetic tableaux of intimacy, longing, and what remains when it gets quiet are generated. The shift between rhythmic energy and contemplative passages makes this reading with music a sensual literary moment.
Style, genre, narrative: When linguistic art takes the lead
The band, known from BR formats, combines songwriting with modern folk aesthetics. Thalmayr – journalistically sharpened, lyrically focused – draws on the themes of the songs and transforms them into miniatures full of literary quality: precise images, clear metaphors, sound-conscious lines. The result: a dialogue between music and text that unites a performative reading and concert.
Cultural context: Reading Happiness – Boundless Literature
As the closing event of the literature festival Reading Happiness – Boundless Literature, the evening bundles the curatorial idea of the festival: to open genre boundaries, to show literature in motion, to intensify the encounter between artists and audience. The Klosterkirche becomes a resonance space – acoustically as well as mentally.
Voices of the readers
On Instagram, anticipation resonates: A visitor writes that she looks forward to dialect, heart, and warmth on cold days. The reactions from readers are clear: REIWAS and Johannes Thalmayr delight with a combination of poetic language and finely crafted music.
Conclusion
Expect an evening that makes literature audible and music narrative – a subtle interplay of voice, language, and sound. Those who want to experience literature live as linguistic craftsmanship should secure this date.
