Newsletter Springtime/2010

This newsletter comes from Buenos Aires, where I am preparing a play about my father who would turn 100 this year, which will have its opening on the 26th of September at the Ako Festival in Israel, in coproduction with Pablo Ariel and his Galilee Multicultural Theatre... The title is "Answer to a never written letter"

My homepage administrator is working day and night to resolve a technical problem that makes it impossible to place some wonderful pictures into my newsletter - as it has been possible before... but Buenos Aires is great and beautiful! I promise!

 

My best regards from the other side of the world!

After Netnakisum's phenomenal tour through Ireland this February and their concert at the Vienna National Radio Gala on the 19th of February this year, I will not further hold back our upcoming project:

 

The "Secret of the Mountain Room" is a Music Theatre Show, which will be performed by the wonderful and almost world famous string quatour "Netnakisum", which became known for its virtous and yet respectful way to cross the borders between Classics, Austrian Folk Music and American Commercial Music, and tells a breathtaking and moving story of love, struggle, happiness and death, nature, city life and steam trains.

The Sectret of the Mountain Room will certainly be revealed in one of the next shows. Don't miss them.

 

Violin: Magdalena Zenz

Viola: Marie-Theres Härtel

Cello: Linde Gansch
