Anton Karas was born on the 7th of July, 1906 in Vienna. Already as a child, Anton was very enthusiastic about music, especially he was fascinated about organ playing. His greatest wish was, to become a director of music. Due to the modest financial circumstances he got only education in "Zither" playing. He found the instrument in the loft of his grandmother's house. Anton was 12 years old.
From 1920 to 1924 he took evening lessons on the Pollux musician school in Vienna. During the day he was working as a tool maker apprentice. With the age of 17 he became a professional musician and he performed at some Heurigen restaurants in Vienna Sievering. Karas studied from 1924 to1928 harmony at the Viennese Music Accademy. His teacher was Professor Spiel. During this time he performed concerts together with the well known Zither player Adolf Schneer, which was very welcome at the aristocracy society.
1948 Anton Karas met the English film director Carol Reed. This meeting changes his whole life. He composed and played the film music "The Third Man" and he became from this days on a world famous Zither player.
One tour follows another, he played in most of the western countries of Europe, USA, Canada, Argentinia, Japan Hongkong, South Africa and Australia.
Absolute highlights in the life of Anton Karas where the reception at Buckingham Palace and invitations from the Netherlands Royal Court, Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1949) and a private audience at Pope Pius the 7th.
