Alles muss! 20 Jahre Studio Dan

The ultimate birthday party at Porgy & Bess

For our 20th anniversary, we're doing the obvious: We're celebrating. And we're doing it at Porgy & Bess - our musical powerhouse from the very beginning. For one evening, we are transforming the entire building into a walk-in installation: from the alleyway pub to the freight elevator to the main stage, every corner will be played - acoustically, visually, beautifully and beautifully.

We show highlights from two decades of Studio Dan - from Planet Globokar, How Is Your Bird?, ZONK!?!! to brand new pieces. You can look forward to music by Anthony Braxton, John Cage, Vinko Globokar, Michael Gordon, George Lewis, Veronika Mayer, Pauline Oliveros, Oxana Omelchuk, Julia Purgina, Steve Reich, Christof Ressi, Daniel and Leo Riegler, James Tenney, Anton von Webern, Clemens Wenger, Frank Zappa and many others, plus Dadaist party formats such as the spring onion tasting, solo concerts in the Lastenlift and massages with dissonance therapy.

Including: Karolina Preuschl, Martin Siewert, Matthias Muche, STUDIO PERCUSSION graz, schtum, Isabella Forciniti - and of course us: Studio Dan.
