9/4/2023 Andrea Pancur died completely unexpectedly in mid-August at the age of just 54

It was with great dismay that we learned of the completely surprising and unexpected death of Andrea Pancur. At only 54 years old, the singer, choir director, organizer and inventor of the alpine klezmer genre was found dead in her apartment in mid-August.

The connection between Andrea Pancur and Galileo Music goes back to 2012. Back in 2013, Galileo Music released her groundbreaking album "Alpen-Klezmer" with her musical partner Ilya Shneyveys, which earned her an invitation to the prestigious Tanz & Folk Festival in Rudolstadt, where she was presented with the main Ruth Prize. With "Alpen-Klezmer - zum Meer" and the Christmas/Chanukka album "Weihnukka" two more albums followed, in which Andrea expressed her desire for cultural understanding at the highest artistic level.

The release of another album with her new project Pumpkin Machine was scheduled for January, and work on the album's release was well underway until shortly before Andrea Pancur's death.

Andrea Pancur was one of Galileo Music's great and magnificent artists who perfectly embodied Galileo Music's label philosophy. It was a great honor for us to accompany her on her artistic path. Her unexpected and much too early death is a great human and artistic loss.
