The second concert will feature HK Gruber, one of the most sought-after Austrian contemporary composers and performers, in the role of the conductor and soloist. His best known piece Frankenstein!! A pan-demonium for baritone chansonnier and orchestra was written to children’s, mostly comical rhymes, shaped into music that comprises the synthesis of popular and folk music, Stravinsky’s Neoclassicism and the rich tradition of the Viennese cabaret. Since its premiere in 1978 under Sir Simon Rattle, this extraordinary piece has been played more than a thousand times, but the Belgrade audience will hear it for the first time.
