about the concert
Where is the Balkans?
If you ask the Viennese, it begins right here (it’s already quite close to the city center…):
Slavoj Žižek has this to say:
For many Finns, one of the first associations with the Balkans is Martti Ahtisaari and Kosovo.
But what does Balkan reality look like in contemporary art music?
Avanti opens a window onto it – come take a look!
Duration of the concert: approx. 65 minutes.
