Cornelius OBONYA & Roman GRINBERG TRIO
“Do you know what?” – FIRST PERFORMANCE
Experience an evening full of surprises, emotions and cultural treasures! Under the humorous title “Wissen’s wos?” , acting and music combine to create an unforgettable experience. Cornelius Obonya, one of the most outstanding actors of our time, brings Jewish stories and pointed humor to the stage with his literary recitations. His unmistakable stage presence and vocal expressiveness transport the audience into a world of storytelling and profound wisdom.
The Roman Grinberg Trio will provide the musical accompaniment to this evening with a varied program. From rousing Yiddish songs and moving klezmer to jazzy improvisations and timeless Viennese hits by Jewish composers – the music spans the gap between tradition and modernity, between sentimentality and lightness.
This evening is not only a tribute to Jewish culture, but above all to the Vienna of the past and present. The fusion of lyrics and melodies immerses the listener in a world that is touching, entertaining and thought-provoking in equal measure. Here, Viennese wit meets Jewish humor, klezmer music meets Viennese hits, all in a lively, interactive atmosphere that captivates the audience.
“Wissen’s wos?” is more than just a concert or a reading – it is a fascinating journey through Jewish-Viennese culture, full of wit, charm and musical virtuosity. Let yourself be enchanted by an evening that appeals to the mind and the heart in equal measure.
