Salon Sonnenberg #8

It’s time to celebrate! Because this isn’t just another brand-new edition of the “Salon Sonnenberg” at the Volkstheater—it’s the hostess’s very own birthday party. Confetti and table fireworks. But that’s about all the attention on the host—because, of course, the spotlight is on the guests.

Violetta Parisini. Viennese singer-songwriter and producer. And a friend—to all of us. No matter what situation you find yourself in, Violetta Parisini has written a song that captures and encapsulates all our feelings, and after listening to it a few times, you’ll immediately want to say:  “I’m in—where do I sign?” With Violetta’s music, you never feel alone. You wish you could talk to her music and ask it all sorts of questions. And then you’re amazed that, often in the very next line, answers come that you didn’t expect. And it’s all profound, yet it sounds light—which, of course, is also thanks to her voice. There’s no one quite like Violetta Parisini. And she’s funny, too—so she’s basically the perfect party guest!

Too much praise? That can’t be, because we’re going to keep right on with it. When Fiva first heard the artist King Josephine, she briefly high-fived the algorithm. Sometimes it really does have its moments. Like filling your ears with that warm voice, for example. Soul, jazz, pop—they’re just words that can barely describe the music of Berlin-based singer King Josephine. Her music warms your heart and makes you happy. And what a stroke of luck that phone numbers were exchanged and calls were returned. Because now she’s actually coming to our salon. Get ready to become a fan.

Also featuring cabaret artist Antonia Satbinger. Humor isn’t up for negotiation, and you wouldn’t argue with Antonia Satbinger anyway. Because there are so many reasons to laugh. You laugh at what you hear, at the way the words are delivered, and then, seconds later, at the depth of the humor, which unexpectedly hits you again—right where it hurts just a little. Last year, she won the Austrian Cabaret Award. And rightly so!

Fiva will, of course, also be performing at her birthday party—together with the guests and her band, consisting of Herbert Pirker (drums), Tobias Wöhrer (bass), and Phil Nykrin (piano). And since there’s something to celebrate, we’re looking forward to some surprises.

And, of course, we’re looking forward to seeing you all!
