The Viennese symphonists were honored on Friday to participate in a special tribute of a special kind. Previously, the victims of Graz were thought of with a sea of ​​lights.

Shortly before 10 p.m., visitors were asked to snap off their cell phone flashlights in front of all stages. “The island shines for Graz”, since one wanted to commemorate the victim of the killing spree at a Graz school a week and a half ago. At the area in front of the main stage, which was filled to the bursting, this resulted in an impressive carpet from tens of thousands of light points. And so far it has so far been so quiet on the island in this minute’s silence.

Pompous strauss show for the 200

Afterwards, the tribal project of the symphonists under conductor Christian Kolonovits and the Drum’n’bass duos Camo & Krooked began. A pompous show in which classical and electronic music merged into an idiosyncratic crossover celebrated the 200th birthday of the Waltz king, which is celebrated all year round with an event round all year round. In a way, as a alcohol rector, the Schani appeared again and again as an oversized visual over the participant.

With all imposing sound, the musical experiment, in which singer Mira Lu Kovacs and the Romanian opera singer Cristina-Antoaneta Păsăroiu were also on board, raised so 100 %. The sound carpet constantly indicated a climax that was then not redeemed. Less lush and more rhythmic drive would sometimes have been desired. The audience was still very impressed.
