CANCELLED: Thomas Quasthoff concert July 1, 2012

Thomas Quasthoff has decided to say farewell to the concert stage, putting an end to his outstanding career as a singer after nearly 40 years. Therefore the concert postponed to July 1, 2012 has also to be cancelled.

CANCELLED: Lee Konitz 9.7.

Lee Konitz suffered a heart attack last week in Sidney. He has meanwhile left intensive care, but is still in hospital. His doctors have strongly recommended against any travel for all of July, so we are very sorry having to announce the cancellation of his appearance at Jazz Fest Wien.
