Christoph Wagner-Trenkwitz & friends
On 15.5.2024, Christoph Wagner-Trenkwitz will join fellow artists Cornelia Horak (soprano) and Laszlo Gyüker (piano) in the service of a good cause: the texts and songs of Fritz Grünbaum, the “little man with a great sense of humor”, will be brought to life in a musical reading. Among other things, the Jewish cabaret artist invented the double conférence.
The oratory of the Austrian National Library serves as a wonderful location.
