The concert in resonance with the exhibition took place on Wednesday, October 6th and Thursday, October, 7th. It was designed by the Tyrolean percussionist Tobias Steinberger with his sextet SEPP, the fire dancer Antonia Steinberger and singer Anna Widauer.

For the INN SITU series we commission outstanding composers and musicians from Tyrol and Vorarlberg to develop a concert in response to the current exhibition. To this end, the internationally renowned Tyrolean percussionist, drummer, and frame drummer Tobias Steinberger has put together an eight-person collective. The ensemble, which includes a singer and a fire dancer, takes the audience on a spirited musical journey to the photographically documented places and people and their (hi)stories.

“Here a vast field is cultivated. Here beds of the most diverse vegetation are tended: jazz and folk music from different regions, free improvisation and bound dance rhythms. True, this may not sound special at first – after all, we have been living with polystylism for decades – but I haven’t experienced a palette like this in a long time.” Albert Hosp, ORF Ö1
