Jonny Pinter sings with his Vocal Summer Academy in Eisenstadt on July 21.

With its "S(w)ingin' Rockin' Summer", one of Austria's most innovative choral projects, the 24th Vocal Summer Academy is bringing a special rock & pop sound experience to the cultural center in Eisenstadt. 150 singers will "rock out" musically and rhythmically under the direction of the conductor, composer and musician Jonny Pinter from Schattendorf, together with a top-class band and soloists.

Concentrated rock & pop power
This was preceded by four days of intensive rehearsals, which have now culminated in a line-up that can be seen and, above all, heard: Hits by Pink, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, One Republic, Dua Lipa, Simple Plan and others are on the program. "The result is concentrated rock and pop power at its finest in a six- to eight-part choir sound," says maestro Jonny Pinter, looking forward to the concert experience at the cultural center. Isa Gaber and Jonny Pinter's son, Johannes aka Aron Pinter, who lives as a musician in Berlin, will provide further highlights on stage as vocal soloists. Gerald Gradwohl, Bernhard Macheiner, Florentin Pinter and Wolfgang Wograndl provide the musical soundscape. Two young string players will also be taking part: Aleksandra Aleksiuk and Evelina Podolianchuk. Information and tickets are available at ...02682/719-1000.
