KONFRONTATIONEN ’22 – festival for free and improvised music

Great Black Music and an electronic orchestra, lyrical moments and post-punk attitudes, European improvisation and Caribbean rhythms, melodic play and electroacoustic storms, musical reminisces and visions… The 42nd this year. Konfrontation in Nickelsdorf return to “normality”, when they again walk on stage in the hot Pannonic summer in the Hof der Jazzgalerie and on the Kleylehof.

As always, there is contemporary free music at the highest level, the diversity of artistic expression of different generations of female musicians and a program guided by the idea symbolizing the mythical bird Sankofa :E reminiscing, going back to traditions, learning from the past makes us gangen not only musically vor making progress
