Wednesday, January 1st
Workshops will start later, as we might all need a little bit more sleep. ;)
---
Our evening activities will all take place in Vienna's 17th district, Hernals. They will include a couple of venues, which are all important standfasts for different cultural activities throughout the year.
We'll start at around 7pm with a little New Year's Concert at Kulturcafe Max. Until 10pm we'll have smooth, semi-acoustic performances of a range of different groups from Colombia, Croatia and England, all carried by great female musicians: Ana María, EFluvual, Croatian Friends, Salt Moon. Caution: There's not so much space, so please come in time!
A little bit later, a bal folk at Tennis Cafe starts. Again a semi-acoustic evening, featuring, from 9pm, balfolk music with a Scandi touch by Jamie Huddlestone, klezmer music / dance with Pallawatsch and, finally, the Estonian-Belgian fusion Belest. Before and after there will be space for session for dancing.
There will also be lots of session opportunities in the nice traditional Viennese restaurant Der Brandstetter plus some action in smaller venues.

Hernals, one of the districts in the West of Vienna, close to the hills and rather green, only became a part of the city in the 1880s (before, that, there were just some villages & vineyards). Today's Hernals offers a good mix of old Viennese culture, migrant communities, student life etc.
