The GershWIEN Project – Release Concert
The release concert of the GershWIEN Project took place on the 5th of April in the more then sold out “Red Salon“ in Vienna’s 1. district. Markus Adenberger and I loved talking with the audience about the album and playing excerpts of it. The only challenge: finding my way to the stage, through the people that had to stand on the stairs, while playing the famous Gershwin Rhapsody clarinet solo.
Das Release Konzert des GershWIEN Projects fand am 5. April im mehr als ausverkauften „Rotem Salon“ im 1. Wiener Bezirk statt. Das führte dazu, dass sich Markus Adenberger während seinem berühmten Rhapsody in Blue Solo durch die improvisierten Stehplätze seinen Weg zur Bühne finden musste. Schließlich standen wir gemeinsam vor dem Publikum und genossen es sehr sowohl über das Album, dessen Werke und die Entstehung zu sprechen, als auch Teile daraus zu spielen.
In the time after the release, we were happy to receive beautiful reactions from the audience to our album:
go directly to the albumMy kids dance to Penderecki in pajamas before breakfast (Stefan)
It’s my new favorite CD to listen to while driving (Anna)
Is the Artie Shaw Concerto really classical music? I love it! (Günther)
The same Zigeunerweise I know so well with violin and orchestra sounds much more round and sometimes dark with clarinet and piano (Clemens)
Here are some impressions from the release concert:
