Yoga with Evelyn Vysher
Saturday, 06/10/2017, 4 pm
Due to last year's great success, we will offer another yoga session with ORF anchor Evelyn Vysher.
Please bring comfortable clothing, yoga mats are provided for.
'Yoga means oneness. The practice of yoga allows us to unify body, spirit, and soul. On this weekend, I would like to give you a glimpse at the
two essential areas of traditional and modern yoga and give you an opportunity to experience yourself the soothing and clarifying effect of yoga on everyday life. We will
practice asanas which are suited for beginners as well as more advanced learners.
I'm looking forward to your numerous appearance and practicing yoga as a group in the park, right in the middle of nature!' Evelyn Vysher

Fräulein Kokett
Saturday, 06/10/2017, 7:30 pm
They are often referred to as Austria's answer to the Andrew Sisters or the Comedian Harmonists. The four powerful-voiced ladies groove the
schmaltz out of slushy songs and present a humorous and naughty homage to the Schlager music of 1920 til 1970.
We are looking forward this year to presenting this ensemble, which made it to the semifinal of Große Chance der Chöre (Great Chance of Choirs), to our audience on
the stage of Volkspark Laaerberg!

50 Jahre Summer Of Love
Friday and Saturday, 08/18/2017 and 08/19/2017, always at 7:30 pm
Open-Air-Arena at Volkspark Laaerberg
(In case of bad weather, the event will be relocated to the Haus der Begegnungen of the VHS Favoriten)
Free Entry!
This year, the summer of 1967, having become an iconic historic event as the 'Summer of Love', celebrates its 50th anniversary. In this event,
we will shed light on the musical as well as cultural background of the period and will also scrutinize the issue of the era's impact on the social environment in Vienna.
Based on the broadcast series by music expert Karl Warlischek, we will let you join us in the exploration of the era's attitude to life and will present background
information on the heyday of the flower-power-movement, accompanied by live performances of the hippie generation's music.
Top class musicians! Our summer of love project band:
Mary Broadcast (vocals, git)
Jimi Dolezal (git)
Andrea Fränzel (bass)
Alex Gantz (git)
Thomas Hierzberger (bass)
Andi Senn (drums)
Special Guest: NANCY LUCA (USA)
We are very proud to announce that we have been able to invite American guitar virtuoso Nancy Luca to Austria in order to perform at the event's final show.
Since her earliest youth, Nancy has played in the most diverse ensembles, demonstrating time and again her incredible musical versatility. It is, however, the music of the
summer of love she feels most connected to!
