Marriage rhythm: Johann Strauss meets Camo & Krooked at the Danube Island Festival!

Marriage rhythm: Johann Strauss meets Camo & Krooked at the Danube Island Festival!

The anticipation is great, because on June 20, an extraordinary merger of two worlds will be presented in the Vienna reactor: The DJ icons Camo & Krooked will merge together with the timeless melodies by Johann Strauss. "This brings great unrest into our workflow and is a large challenge," said Camo during a presentation of the project. Despite the different musical genres-Strauss in major and the drum & bass champions in Moll-according to Christian Kolonovits, there is a common basis: "It is and remains dance music on both sides," as in the report of Kleine Zeitung is highlighted.

a tribute to the anniversary

The connection between Camo & Krooked with Strauss is more than just an artistic experiment. It shows the need to achieve new target groups for the composer's music. The director of the Strauss Festival, Susanne Schicker, emphasized that Strauss would probably have played at the Danube Island Festival, it would have been established during his lifetime. In addition, as part of the 200th anniversary of Johann Strauss (son), several concerts will take place in which the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra under the direction of the renowned conductor Johannes Wildner plays the composer's favorite works. This anniversary celebration is divided into three events and offers up to 43 works by Strauss, such as Elbphilharmonie

The connection between classical music and modern beats could be an interesting development for the Viennese music scene, whereby the extended version of the project, which takes place on September 18 and 19 in the concert hall, offers additional space for this unique musical symbiosis.
