Manu Delago & Friends im Wiener Musikverein
Vienna, Wiener Musikverein — Großer Saal
About the Event
“Handpan. Drums. Composition”: Manuel Delago's short biography begins laconically. Born in Innsbruck, he showed his love for drums in particular and music in general at the age of two. Active in various bands as a teenager, the musician and composer also studied in Salzburg and London – and has been performing in formations he founded himself for almost 20 years, now in more than 50 countries on six continents. That's why his fans have long known what the term “handpan” means. What looks a bit like a metal turtle shell is, from a musical and technical point of view, a fairly new musical instrument: a two‐shelled percussion idiophone made of sheet steel with several tone fields on the upper side. Together with the melodious three‐part songs of Tyrolean singers Heidi Erler, Mimi Schmid, and Anna Widauer from Mad about Lemon, as well as the sound artists led by Jules Buckley, Manuel Delago, who will have his hands full (and more) on the handpan and drums, guarantees a plugged‐in experience in a class of its own.
Artists
| Orchestra: | Tonkünstler‐Orchester Niederösterreich One of Europe's finest orchestras, the TON can trace its musical history back to the days of Mozart and Haydn. Dividing their time between Vienna, where they play in the Musikverein's 'Golden Hall' and Sankt‐Pölten, the orchestra has long been prized by Austrian audiences for its regular Sunday afternoon concerts, and has been the resident orchestra of the Grafenegg Festival since the latter's founding in 2007. The Tonkünstler is renowned for its adaptability — a trait reflected by the variety of world and Austrian premieres it has played, including Schönberg's immense 'Gurrelieder' and was the first Austrian orchestra to establish a division exclusively dedicated to music education.. Yukata Sado has been the orchestra's chief conductor since 2013 but will stand down in 2025, with French conductor Fabien Gabel set to take over from the 25‐26 season. |
