Bert Millinger
Vienna Hausmeister Project


My good friend, Bert Millinger is well on his way to becoming one of Vienna’s most popular singers; and, just the other day, I had the great pleasure of seeing him once again in action. He was playing in Vienna at Günter’s coffee house, The Garten Café in Rodaun, and his performance was, as always, superb.

Bert Millinger is himself when he is helping others to achieve their own dreams, and the people he helps are the singers of tomorrow, and he does this in his events by giving them what is his – and what is his is his time.

Bert Millinger divides his happenings into two halves. The first half prepares the way for the second half, and the second half makes the first half possible. And this is the secret of Bert Millinger’s way of helping the young on their way to the top.

Their is no shortage of young talent in Vienna, and each time Bert Millinger organizes an occasion he usually invites 3 or 4 youngsters to perform, and his daughter, Susie is usually one of them, and this is what happened last week

When it comes to choosing for the future, Bert Millinger knows how. All of the kids who sang – sang well, and everyone enjoyed them very much indeed. And it was the pleasure that these youngsters gave that set the mood for the evening – for the second half, just like the first, was simply great!

After the interval was Bert Millinger’s Hausmeister Project. A band with a feeling of electricity that is able to set an exciting current in action that goes right through and touches the innermost feelings of the people who are experiencing their music. Their interpretations of Viennese music, both ancient and modern, brought the songs of long, long ago (and not so long ago, too) once more to the surface, proving, that when played superbly well, old Viennese songs (and not so old, too) are just as meaningful as they always have been.

The Hausmeister Project is deep pleasure in action, and, as long as it continues to play, one of the nicest traditions of Viennese music will continue to be heard; and, as long as Bert Millinger continues to encourage the young, tomorrow will have the musical comfort that is expected of this great musical city!

There is more about the Vienna Hausmeister Project in the net, it is worth looking in Google.
