Coffee & Beer in Traunstein: A Musical Reading as an Austrian-Bavarian Melange

On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, a literary experience full of sound colors unfolds at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein: The actors and cabaret artists Stephan Zinner and Stefan Leonhardsberger invite you to their musical reading Coffee & Beer – an evening between coffeehouse culture and tavern poetry, reading atmosphere and author encounters.

Between Coffeehouse and Tavern: Texts, Sounds, Temperaments

Those who experience the literary quality of Coffee & Beer hear linguistic art in interplay: Austrian elegance and Bavarian bluntness. The two read and interpret texts from, among others, Karl Kraus, Arthur Schnitzler, Joseph Roth, and Egon Friedell, as well as from Oskar Maria Graf, Joachim Ringelnatz, Gerhard Polt, Frank Wedekind, and Karl Valentin. The narratives fluctuate between cheerful and quiet, cloudy and pointed – a stylistically precise curated selection that explores cultural peculiarities and surprising commonalities.

Literary Voices with Music: A Sensory Evening

The voice carries, the guitar responds: Zinner and Leonhardsberger frame the reading with older songs and specially composed pieces. Thus, an intimate atmosphere emerges in which words resonate, nuances sparkle, and the reading becomes an author encounter – a linguistic-musical event that translates the tradition of coffeehouse and tavern literature into the present.

Cultural Positioning: From the Stage into the Discourse

Both artists are firmly anchored in German-speaking cultural life. Zinner shapes cabaret, film, and literature with a distinctive stage presence; Leonhardsberger expands the genre with singing, physicality, and performative energy. This expertise is palpable: texts are not merely presented but interpreted – with an awareness of genre, style, and historical contexts.

Service for the Evening: Times, Seats, Travel

Start at 8:00 PM, doors/opening from 7:00 PM, free seating. Advance sales 27 euros, box office 30 euros, reduced 22 euros (youth 15–25 years or person with disability from 50 GdB).
