Wien Modern 2026
Thu Nov 12
Contemporary music festival
Landstraße, Wien
Visitors praise the exceptional acoustics across the four independent halls of the Konzerthaus.
Reviewers note the gorgeous interior architecture and impressive chandeliers of the historic building.
Delicate paper-cut silhouettes flicker across the screen in Lotte Reiniger's silent film adaptation of The Adventures of Prince Achmed, accompanied by Peter Rosmanith on percussion and Otto Lechner on accordion and vocals in the Großer Saal.
Saturday, December 5, 7:30 PM
Peter Rosmanith
Austrian world percussionist integrating African balaphone, Arab frame drum, Indian tablas and hang
Peter Rosmanith studied jazz drums and percussion at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and later focused on non‑European music, performing with a global percussion box that includes African balaphone, Arab frame drums, Indian tablas and the hang. He collaborates in world‑music formations and composes for theatre, film and radio productions.
Otto Lechner
Austrian blind accordionist blending jazz, classical, folk and world music
Otto Lechner, born in 1964 in Melk, Austria, is a self‑taught accordionist who has been blind since age 15. He is known for virtuosic improvisations that fuse Viennese waltz, jazz, folk and world‑music elements, and leads ensembles such as Accordion Tribe and Otto's Jazz Ensemble.
