To mark this anniversary, Grafenegg's now resident orchestra and its Music Director Yutaka Sado perform a dazzling concert at the Wolkenturm. The programme promises to provide an exhilarating evening, replete with melodies that are sure to continue ringing in the ears of the audience on their journey home.
