My first point of contact with Treibacher had to do with the art initiative "Kunst im Werk" in 2015. In that year I started as an intern and helped to organise the concert during the summer months. I liked the tasks and the whole concept so much that I happily agreed helping in the following year again.
Now many years have passed and a lot has changed, but the Kunst im Werk concert is still one of my favourite projects at work.
Donauwellenreiter meets Kunst im Werk
Luckily, it was time for a new concert this year: amidst the industrial hustle and bustle, Donauwellenreiter played a very special concert in one of our production halls in Althofen on 18 June 2022. It is always impressive how quickly a place can change: The production hall for ferroalloys transformed into a wonderful concert location within a few hours! The whole location looks so magical and different in those colourful lights. It's always a pleasure to work with the guys from T.C. consult, who are so passionate about creating this beautiful atmosphere.
About the concert
This year's concert was all about Donauwellenreiter, an ensemble from Vienna - consisting of a violinist and singer (Maria Craffonara), a cellist (Lukas Lauermann), a pianist (Thom Castañeda) and a drummer (Jörg Mikula). It already felt nostalgic looking at the brochures from 2015 and 2016 and preparing all kinds of marketing tools for this year’s concert.
Not only the location was wonderful, but also the band virtuously played many songs from their current album "Delta". I was pleased to hear them play songs like "Le Papillon", "Nemophila", “4K” and "Jump'n'run" - my favourites from their latest album. The audience seemed to enjoy the show and the location as much as I did - the applause lasted for minutes and there were several standing ovations.
And overnight everything has changed and the venue is again a production hall for ferroalloys. But here's a proof of the wonderful concert evening, some pictures from the Donauwellenreiter gig in Althofen:
