2021 Summer concert activities of Dusha Connection, started by organization of an innovative series of moderated open-air concerts for the cultural stimulation of places in Vienna that are worth discovering.

Open Air Concerts for everyone
Instead of taking place in concert halls or jazz clubs, the concerts – Due to the pandemic: serendipity! – take place in public spaces under the open sky, giving residents and those interested a low-threshold and free access to art and culture.
Own compositions and arrangements that draw their source of musical inspiration from the rich cultural pot of Viennese music history: The Wiener Lied, Jewish, Slavic and oriental melodies and rhythms as a leitmotif in contemporary jazzy arrangements.
Esad Halilovic (drums and musical direction)
Sebastian Schneider (piano and arrangements)
Clemens Rofner (bass and compositions)
Alena Baich (violin and moderation)
