Nothing but Air / Artistic Whistling from Then to Now

Can music be created from nothing but air? Austrian artistic whistler Sirus Madjderey demonstrates just how versatile, virtuosic, and moving whistling can be as a musical art form.

In his show, he combines well-known melodies with insights into the history of artistic whistling—from his early role models to contemporary interpretations. In the process, whistling becomes an instrument: at times cheerful and playful, at times surprisingly powerful, and at times very delicate and soulful.

Sirus Madjderey is one of the outstanding practitioners of this extraordinary art. Since 2024, he has held the world record for the highest note ever whistled by a human.

An evening for music lovers, the curious, and anyone who wants to experience the worlds of sound that can be created with nothing but breath, lips, and passion.
