With her music NIGRITA dives to the depths of the ocean, to the spring of elemental force and then ascends – OUT OF THE BLUE – with newfound energies and unlimited artistic power.

An ode to the sea, the moon and personal moments of magic: „Let’s open our eyes for something new!“

SA 28. Dec 20:30 – academy goes Winterfest with Kollegium Kalksburg

These three, in the best sense of the word, dabbled conductors are fanatics of expression, big explorers of the realm of the sublime, also of the ugly and ghastly, even greater explorers of the effect, the art of Schauläden. They are talents far beyond genius. Born enemies to logic and the straight line, longing for the unknown, exotic and terrible. An unforgettable, warm and funny musical Wienerlieder-evening.

Heinz Ditsch (accordion, singing foxtail, voice), Paul Skrepek (guitar, voice), Wolfgang Vincenz Wizlsperger (voice, harmonica)
