With their Gassenhauer program the two gifted Viennese musicians- clarinetist Vera Karner and bassist Dominik Wagner- won over the judges of the Fanny Mendelssohn Bursary jury. There are few works for their unusual trio of clarinet, bass, and piano, which is why the two musicians, both only twenty years old, have not only arranged existing compositions for their setup, but have commissioned works for the formation themselves. Taking a cue from Beethoven, they have called this debut album "Gassenhaur." Just as Beethoven, all of the composers featured on the album arranged well-known tunes into their works. Vera Karner has given concerts as a soloist with a number of ensembles including the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Varna State Opera and the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Stara Zagora State Opera. She is involved on a private level in helping people who are sick and have mobility issues, and she supports the "Live Music Now" project founded by Lord Yehudi Menuhin, which holds concerts free of charge in social facilities. Dominik Wagner was born in Vienna in 1997. He began musical training at the age of 5, first on the cello, and from 2008 playing the double bass. He has given concerts at venues such as the Musikverein in Vienna, the Lviv Philharmonie, the Konzerthaus in Vienna and at Munich's Gasteig.
