Carinthian Drummer Corps inspires in Vienna: A Strauss experience in a class of its own!
A brilliant event took place last week in the Vienna Konzerthaus: “Red Bull Symphonic – Johann Strauss 2025 Edition”. On September 18th and 19th, visitors experienced a unique interplay of traditional classical music and modern drum & bass, presented by the musician duo Camo & Krooked and the renowned composer Christian Kolonovits. This extraordinary fusion was not only about music, but also about art, reinterpreting the works of Johann Strauss and making them accessible to younger generations. According to meinkreis.at the mood among the spectators was electric.
And not without reason: Camo & Krooked, consisting of Reinhard Rietsch and Markus Wagner, have earned an excellent reputation in the European drum & bass scene since their founding in 2007. Her creative impulses have significantly shaped the genre, and her collaboration with Kolonovits, initiated back in 2020, shows her tireless pursuit of innovation. In total, the two artists have released four albums and over 100 original tracks. Christoph Grabuschnig, the musical director of the Carinthian drum corps from St. Veit, which is known for its impressive show performance during the event, also liked their energy on stage.
Carinthian Drummer Corps and Vienna Symphony Orchestra
A highlight of the event was the Carinthian drummer corps, which provided the necessary rhythm support with a drum performance. Grabuschnig was enthusiastic about his ensemble's performance and the audience's positive reactions, which gave a great boost of motivation before the show. This energy was noticeable not only in the musicians, but also in the audience, who thanked them for the performances with lots of applause.
The support of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, one of Europe's leading orchestras, gave the event additional weight. This musical alliance will play an important role in the Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna Festival Year and shows how successful it can be to combine different musical traditions. The event promises a multimedia show that captures the spirit of Johann Strauss in a fresh way, reported wien.info.
Outlook for upcoming events
For anyone who missed the event or wants to experience the anticipation of more: the performance will be streamed on Red Bull TV from October 7th, and the TV premiere is scheduled for October 25th on ServusTV. The Carinthian Drummer Corps will also accompany the opening of the 662nd St. Veiter Wiesenmarkt with their music on September 27th - another event that is sure to cause enthusiasm. Austria can look forward to many more creative combinations in the music scene, promoted by the commitment of artists like Camo & Krooked.
