Jelena Popržan, the charismatic and vocally nuanced viola player, singer and sound artist from Vojvodina (Serbia), who has injected some vitality into the Austrian music scene, is now setting up a new project and a new team after her highly acclaimed solo program La Folia, with three fixed sizes of the local jazz scene: Christoph Pepe Auer (in this concert substituted by Richie Winkler), Clemens Sainitzer and Lina Neuner. She found the poems of the Polish-Viennese poet Tamar Radzyner (1927–1991) in a booklet published by the Theodor Kramer Society and was deeply impressed. The Polish Jew, who was in the armed resistance and survived the Shoah, found a new home in Vienna and in the German language, worked with Georg Kreisler and Topsy Küppers, and wrote poems full of cheerful pessimism and bitter wit. Jelena Popržan created a musical monument to her with a song cycle. But the larger part of the program is taken up by her brand new instrumental compositions, pieces full of imaginative sound images and melodic stories.
