From Vienna with Love

The air crackles with anticipation as the lights dim inside the iconic St. George Theatre in New York City. This isn’t just another tribute act—it’s a one-of-a-kind musical experience brought to life by MONTI BETON, a band dedicated to keeping the spirit of legendary artists alive since 1982. With a deep reverence for the greats who can no longer take the stage, they deliver more than just music—they bring history to life.

Adding an unexpected twist to the night, soccer legend Johann Krankl, famed for his time with Champions League powerhouse FC Barcelona, steps beyond the pitch and into the spotlight. But tonight, it’s not about his legendary footwork—it’s about his love for timeless music that transcends generations.

As the first notes ring out, the room is electrified. The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” fills the air, followed by a soul-stirring rendition of Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” and the heartfelt warmth of Neil Diamond’s “Holly Holy.” The band effortlessly moves between genres, even weaving in beloved Italian-American classics, creating a rich tapestry of sound that stirs the soul.

This New York City debut isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of musical legends, a night where past and present collide in perfect harmony. With a shared passion for timeless melodies and the surprise presence of a European football icon, Monti Beton delivers a show that is both unexpected and unforgettable.
