The Austrian Cultural Forum New York presents singer Natasa Mirkovic-De Ro and Austrian hurdy-gurdy player Matthias Loibner in concert, performing a special version of Schubert’s Winterreise (Winter Journey). WEDNESDAY MAR 30, 07:30 PM http://www.acfny.org/ Austrian Cultural Forum 11 East 52nd Street New York, NY 10022 phone: 212 319 5300 gallery: daily 10am to 6pm Matthias Loibner plays the hurdy-gurdy in an unheard-of way. He treats his instrument at times tenderly, at times relentlessly, and oscillates between nearly forgotten and newly found sounds – from ancient music to experimental dance floor – in solo concerts as well as in duets with actress and singer Natasa Mirkovic-De Ro. Born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, singer Natasa Mirkovic-De Ro has performed opera, jazz and rock as well as traditional and gypsy song before fleeing war-torn Sarajevo and settling in Austria where she met hurdy-gurdy maestro Matthias Loibner whilst singing with the celebrated Sandy Lopicic Orkestar. With intense, expressive feeling she joins her exquisite vocals to the exotic yet strangely familiar sounds of the ancient hurdy-gurdy. Mirkovic-De Ro also played the role of Kassandra in her solo theater/lied project “Kassandra - Laments Of the Balkans.” The duo's project Ajvar & Sterz, featuring music from Austria and the Balkans, won the Austrian World-Music Award in 2005. In November 2010, they released F.Schubert/W.Müllers Winterreise on Raumklang Records. Winterreise is a cycle of 24 poems, best known as the song cycle for voice and piano by Franz Schubert (published as Op. 89 in 1827). In the poems, written by Wilhelm Müller, a young man, disappointed in love, wanders through a bleak winter landscape. Trading the piano for a hurdy-gurdy, Mirkovic-De Ro and Loibner give you a Winterreise unlike any you have ever experienced!
