Wiener Popfest am Karlsplatz/Vienna – Austria

Thomas JarmerThe first edition of the Vienna Popfestival was held from May 6th to 9th, with 38 concerts, featuring artists from the Austrian music scene.

Clara Luzia opened the festival with a gig on the ‘floating stage’, right in front of the famous ‘Karlskirche’ (Charles Church), which was used during each day as a central venue. Curator Robert Rotifer revealed on Wednesday at a press conference of this ambitious mission: "The expression POP will find another meaning in Vienna after these four days."

The aim was to accommodate as many ‘showcases’ in different styles. In view of the fixed program "a stylistically quite long way" was run by all participating, enthused now in GB-based FM4 radio commentator Rotifer Man, who is touring himself in the country with his current album, ‘The Children on the Hill’.

The open-air show was organised by the ‘karlsplatz.org’, with free admission with guests such as Bunny Lake, Dance Baby!, Ernst Molden or Velojet, but also fresh names as this year's protest song contest winner Paute or the 80s headbands Astro Panda. Some of the gigs took place at the so-called showcase, where five labels such as Problembär Records, Fettkakao or Seayou could present their related merchandising.

Besides the ‘floating stage’, which was reserved for ten concerts, the Vienna Museum, the Technical University and the Kunsthalle-branch ‘project space’ also served as venues. In addition to lush acoustic music from the early afternoon also included were discussion groups about: ‘Copyright 2.0’, workshop on ‘Social Media Tools’ and ‘Pop Marketing 2.0’.

The City Councillor Andreas Mailath-Pokorny (S) spoke of the establishment of a separate force field for the music scene in Vienna: "The city needs critical points where it can condense culture" - and the Karlsplatz “Charles Square” has become such a place in recent years. The band Garish with singer and lyricist Thomas Jarmer (accordion) finished off on Sunday a very successful POPFESTIVAL IN VIENNA.

Avril 28 a été une soirée de jazz mettant en vedette Renzo Ruggeri et l'ensemble de Rostov "Quartet Jazz New-Centropezn« Ce fut une fureur réel! Le public était prêt à les écouter à tout jamais et le concert a duré plus de 3 heures!

Conrad Rojac performing in concert at the University of Graz - Austria

Corrado RojacWithin the Erasmus projects - international concert exchanges, the accordion teacher Corrado Rojac of the Conservatory G. Tartini in Trieste was invited by the music of the Austrian Music Univerisity of Graz to hold a concert in the Florentiner Saal at the Palace Meran. The concert was held on May 11th and was attended by an attentive and well prepared audience, mostly composed of university students, who acclaimed the concertist of Trieste with warm applause.

This is a project of mutual exchange between European universities and conservatories, in fact, on April 7th, the famous Finnish Janne Ratty, accordion teacher of the Austrian Music University of Graz, performed at the Conservatory G. Tartini in Trieste. Conrad Rojac presented himself to the Austrian audience with a program that included, alongside classics such as the ‘Sonata No. 1’, by Anatoli Kusjakov, and Sofia Gubaidulina’s ‘De Profundis’, two Italian authors in Austrian premiere performance: by Milanese composers Alessandro Solbiati Cremonese and Gabrio Taglietti. Both are dedicated to Corrado Rojac two important compositions: Solbiati il Trittico, a piece written in 2006, and Taglietti the Three fantasies for accordion, just completed.

Solbiati – a piece divided into three movements with many different characters which urges highest attention by the accordionist - especially for the flourishing of trills in the first movement, or the attitude of the second oscillatory as for the continuum that characterizes the fast third movement.

‘The Three Fantasies’ by Gabrio Taglietti are also in three movements with special difficulties for the accordion for its relentless rhythm that distinguishes each other.

On May 12th Corrado Rojac presented to all students of Janne Ratty a brief history of Italian literature for accordion after World War II until today, with careful analysis of Luciano Berio's Sequenza XIII.
