Franui live in Meggenhofen

Experience Franui live on July 9th

Franui will perform at Theater Meggenhofen in Meggenhofen, Austria on July 9, 2026. The ensemble is known for its unique blend of traditional Austrian folk music – particularly from the Alpine regions – with elements of jazz, classical, and contemporary composition. Their instrumentation typically includes accordion, clarinet, guitar, double bass, and vocals, often employing complex arrangements and close vocal harmonies. Franui’s sound is characterized by a playful yet sophisticated approach to their heritage, frequently incorporating improvisation and unexpected musical turns.

Theater Meggenhofen holds a significant place within Austria’s cultural landscape. Originally a traditional farmhouse (“Meggenhof”), it was transformed into a theater in 1987 by actor and director Volkmar Soboth. Soboth established a reputation for staging productions deeply rooted in regional identity and often utilizing the surrounding landscape as an integral part of the performance space. The theater is noted for its unconventional staging—productions frequently extend beyond the building itself into the fields and forests around Meggenhofen—and its focus on Austrian dramatic literature alongside contemporary works. It operates as a privately-funded, independent theater committed to regional arts and culture.
