LOISIARTE GOES VIENNA
It is time for LOISIARTE to gain a foothold in Vienna.
"LOISIARTE will take place for the 19th time in 2025. With the Formdepot, we have found an ideal location in Vienna to offer our loyal audience in Vienna the opportunity to experience our musical and literary programs at the highest artistic level throughout the year," says Christian Altenburger, artistic director of LOISIARTE, about the new location.
The Formdepot is home to craftsmanship, architecture, and design on an area of 1,400 square meters spread over four levels. It will also function as the Vienna branch of LOISIARTE in the future.
Concert with Music by Mozart, Brahms and Schwertsik
On this occasion, Christian Altenburger (violin) will play a concert featuring classical and contemporary chamber music by Mozart, Brahms, and Schwertsik.
Altenburger will be accompanied by Sophie Trobos (violin), Lydia Altenburger (viola), Raika Yamakage (viola), and Constantin Pritz (cello). The Austrian writer Vea Kaiser will complement the evening with a literary contribution.
