MON 26 - BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THE VEGETABLE MUSIC
At: 19.00 - Venue: M2 Foyer
The Vegetable Orchestra was founded in 1998 in Austria and it is composed of twelve members with a very different background (musicians, architects, designers, and writers), but with an equally important “voice”. The Ensemble’s particularity consists of the fact that it performs with instruments made from fresh vegetables, which must be built anew for its concert and each rehearsal. The use of various vegetable instruments which are constantly being refined creates a unique universe of sound, which cannot be achieved with traditional instruments.
There are no musical boundaries for the Vegetable Orchestra: the most diverse music styles fuse here –contemporary music, experimental, electronic, free jazz are only some of the musical genres they perform. At the same time, a concert of the Vegetable Orchestra appeals to all the senses, and after a short time a wonderful smell of vegetables is in the air. The audience will also be able to take a closer look at the instruments being used and can also take most of them with them home after the concert. Which other orchestra can offer that to its audience?
The Ensemble has played more than 200 concerts at very different venues (concert halls, greenhouses, mountain huts, clubs, ships and festivals).
