HK Gruber on his 81st birthday
On January 3, 2024, HK Gruber, one of the most successful Austrian composers of our time, celebrated his 81st birthday, and on April 22, the Vienna RSO, to which he belonged as a double bassist for more than a quarter of a century, and the Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft, which elected him an honorary member in 2009, will celebrate this anniversary. The jubilarian himself will be conducting, and all the works on the program will be written by him: the »Manhattan Broadcasts«, his trumpet concerto »Aerial« and the Austrian premiere of the orchestral suite from Gruber's latest opera »Tales from the Vienna Woods«.
