Do you want to celebrate live music and beats together? In 2026, Beat the Silence is finally going on tour to Vienna, St. Pölten and – for the very first time – to Linz.

​

The program that awaits you could hardly be more multi-faceted: From emotion-filled jazz music to drums, beats, and party vibes; you’ll experience it all. After its 2023 premier in the Vienna Concert Hall and showings at Porgy & Bess, Sargfabrik, WUK and the Vienna Summer of Culture, Beat the Silence is now taking its program to various regions.

The Austrian singer-songwriter Veronika Morscher and her band will make an appearance with their recent album Blooming. Her moving voice tells stories that heal and generate courage. She will be accompanied by Anja of the Dancing Hands, Sonja Hanl and Lucia Rosenfeld, who will perform the lyrics in the form of sign language poetry and dance.

The two-time Beat Boxing World Champion group M.O.M join in with a mixture of dance music and a healthy portion of humor. Along the way they will create diverse worlds of sound, whether it be techno, drum’n’base or Latin – and all this with only their mouths.

​

Following their premier with Beat the Silence at WUK in 2024, the IMANI Drum Show now returns with their energy-filled performance. They combine drums, percussion and light effects, electrifying the audience with all-encompassing beats.

​

The evening of shows is equally engineered for hearing, hard-of-hearing, and deaf audiences, making it possible for all to experience music together. Just before the concert, the interactive exhibit Hands-Up invites visitors to experience and understand the day-to-day life of deaf individuals.
