Pembaur – who?

On the 100th anniversary of Josef Pembaur's death

Josef Pembaur the Elder (1848-1923) shaped musical life in Innsbruck and Tyrol for over forty years as the city's music director and head of the Musikverein.

In this exhibition, we approach the person of Pembaur in many different ways. We shed light on his importance as a conductor and pianist, as a composer and organiser, as a teacher and busy networker; we also look at his own musical influence and his family, in which the "music gene" continued to have an effect. The pointedly pointed question "Pembaur - who?" always guides us in this search for clues, in other words, to put it in more detail: "Was this person, who is only known by name today, known in his time and if so, for what?"

Last but not least, we are interested in the traces that Pembaur left behind in Innsbruck and that can be found throughout the city.
