Music from Austria: Natalie Ritt

"Music is my life," says the guest of Christian Jeschko on the Vienna Tschocherl. "Since I was a child, I loved yodeling and still do so today with great passion. This is how I learned to love music early on, received piano and singing lessons, and today I also play recorder, flute, piccolo, zither, and keyboard. My path to becoming a classical singer seemed predestined: at six years old, children's opera; at eleven, Vienna Musical Company; at fifteen, I studied as an external student at the University of Music and Performing Arts; at eighteen, I transferred to the conservatory." She also occasionally performs with her father, STEIRER FRANZ. In this series, Christian Jeschko introduces emerging and so far little-known musicians from Austria. The focus is on new voices, fresh sound worlds, and creative approaches outside the mainstream. The series offers insights into Austria's diverse music scene and provides artists with a platform to present their work to a broader audience. Personal conversations, musical excerpts, and background stories make the show a journey of discovery through Austria's current music landscape.
