Aldeias Vinhateiras do Douro -Welcome to Portugal






The First Vienna Vegetable Orchestra é uma orquestra cujos instrumentos musicais são…vegetais! Reúne dez músicos das mais distintas áreas, um técnico de som e um Ó cozinheiro. Com duas cenouras e uma abóbora o grupo faz o "kurbis", um instrumento de percussão parecido com um tambor.
A "karottenfl¸ten" é uma flauta feita a partir de uma cenoura e o "paprikatr¸te" ou "gurkophon" são instrumentos de sopro feitos a partir de pimentos e pepinos. Os temas surgem a partir de vários estilos, como a música tradicional africana, clássicos europeus ou música electrónica.

vienna vegetable orchestra
worldwide one of a kind, the Vegetable Orchestra performs on instruments made of fresh vegetables. The utilization of various ever refined vegetable instruments creates a musically and aesthetically unique sound universe.
The Vegetable Orchestra was founded in 1998. It consists of 11 musicians, a sound engineer and a video artist. Based in Vienna, the Vegetable Orchestra plays concerts in Europe and Asia. From time to time workshops are given - on how to manufacture an instrument or on musical topics.
There are no musical boundaries for the Vegetable Orchestra. The most diverse music styles fuse here - contemporary music, beat-oriented House tracks, experimental Electronic, Free Jazz, Noise, Dub, Clicks'n'Cuts - the musical scope of the ensemble expands consistently, and recently developed vegetable instruments and their inherent sounds often determine the direction.
A concert of the Vegetable Orchestra appeals to all the senses. As an encore at the end of the concert and the video performance, the audience is offered fresh vegetable soup.
