Biography

The Philharmonia Schrammel – Group has been an institution in Vienna for decades. It got its name in the nineteenseventies when Philharmonic Violinist Alfons Egger took over the former Spilar-Schrammel-Group. Even before that takeover musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra enthusiastically played the classical repertoire of the Schrammel Brothers with their original instruments.
The Philharmonia Schrammeln Vienna have enjoyed unbroken popularity for four decades even among an audience whose primary interest does not include Folk Music.
Their yearly participation in music festivals like the „Schubert-Festival“ in Hohenems/Schwarzenberg or their regular appearences in the "Wiener Musikverein" are proof of their popularity. Regular concert tours take them to North America, East-Asia and many European countries.
Their performances have been recorded many times, especially on the 15 CDs  with „Viennese Songs“, from the famous „Krems-Album“ starring Angelika Kirchschlager, Walter Berry and Heinz Zednik.
