Vienna Waltz conquers the everyone: Danube waltz dances to the universe!

Wien, Österreich - An extraordinary project takes on forms! Wient tourism and the European Space Organization (ESA) start a spectacular mission under the motto "Waltz into space". The world -famous Danube waltz, originally composed by Johann Strauss, is to be sent to space on May 31, 2025. A concert by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, which will not only sound on earth, but also in the universe, is listed in front of the impressive backdrop of the MAK in Vienna. Wient tourism chief Norbert Kettner and the ESA representative Mehran Sarkarati recently presented this important project that could create a deeper connection between humanity and possible extraterrestrial forms of life, as krone.at

The Danube Walzer will be brought into a digital form on May 31 and sent to space by the Deep Space antenna in Cebreros, Spain. In record speed, the signal reaches the NASA room probe Voyager 1 after only 23 hours and 3 minutes! This space probe, which has been exploring the vastness of the universe since 1977, is now ready to continue the music of mankind. With the transmission, which is also to be followed in the Herrmann beach bar for all Viennese, Wientourism also offers the opportunity to contribute as a "spacenote ambassador" by taking on a sponsorship for individual notes of the waltz, as from Kurier.at explained.

The Danube Walzer is not only performed in the universe, but also celebrated at various events during the Strauss year. As part of the Vienna City Marathon on April 6, a world record attempt will take place in waltz dancing, and musician Martin Grubinger will also show a reinterpretation of the piece with his band. All of this is all about Johann Strauss's 200th birthday and promises to become a spectacular year for waltz lovers and space fans alike.
