Kirill Kobantschenko plays the DJ!
He is not only a passionate musician and virtuoso who since 2001 has played first violin in the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and since 2004 in the Vienna Philharmonic, but also pursues a hobby unusual for sensitive string players: in the orchestra Kirill Kobantschenko follows the beat, in the DJ set he provides the beat. But music has always been the top priority for the charismatic Philharmonic star from a family of musicians in the Ukraine, though as a violinist too he resists classification into any one category. He demonstrates that with the chamber music ensemble Plattform K+K Vienna he founded in 2009, which in various formats combines classical, jazz and electronic music in an intoxicating way, making a speciality of resurrecting seldom-performed or completely unknown works. It's no surprise in such an adventurous artist to find that he plays the DJ in clubs, electro and pop music in his leisure time. He will now also be pursuing this unusual hobby for a classical musician at this year's International Bruckner Festival, showing that Bruckner can be quite compatible with a dance beat.
A DJ set with a touch of Disco-House – the relaxing sound of dance music from Lounge to Jazz to get the body and the soul dancing.
