The Modern Troubadour 
Bryan Benner is a singer, guitarist, songwriter and entertainer born in Orlando (USA), based in Vienna (AT). Bryan’s solo performances have resonated in venues ranging from prestigious concert halls to sailboats, bustling music clubs to intimate house concerts. His repertoire spans a rich array of musical genres, including original compositions, classical art songs and traditional Neapolitan music.

The Erlkings
In 2013, Bryan founded "The Erlkings," an internationally acclaimed art song ensemble bridging today’s acoustic singer-songwriter genre with the great Lied composers of the past. The songs of masters like Schubert and Schumann are reimagined through modern musical vocabulary and Bryan’s English translations, brought to life by a unique ensemble of voice, guitar, cello, tuba, drums, and vibraphone.

Bryan Benner & Václav Fuksa
Together with Czech guitar virtuoso Václav Fuksa, the duo is celebrating the richness of the Neapolitan art song tradition. Their program goes beyond a tribute to the legendary duo Fausto Cigliano and Mario Gangi, whose arrangements serve as the foundation for their music; it is a vibrant and passionate reimagining of the colorful musical heritage of Napoli.
