Vienna Jazz Festival 2011

Liza Minnelli, Thomas Quasthoff, Cyndi Lauper and many other music stars offer the very best in jazz and more at around 60 concerts. Vienna therefore makes a big impression on the festival landscape.

Singer Marianne Faithfull kicks off the event on 15 June. On 23 June, Cesaria Evora, who is called the "barefoot diva", can be experienced in the Konzerthaus with her soulful ballades from the Cape Verde islands.

Greats of the music business perform at the Vienna State Opera: Al Di Meola and Earl Klugh elicit the finest tones from their guitars, former New Wave girl Cyndi Lauper presents a program of Blues music and US diva Liza Minnelli continues her glittering comeback in Vienna. Unmistakable sounds can be expected from Seal, Bryan Ferry, Madleine Peyroux, trumpeter Till Brönner and Omara Portuondo & Chucho Valdes. Bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff celebrates classical Jazz singing.
