RÜCKENWIND — Die musikalische Feier des Fahrradfahrens!

In the organizer's words:

Whizzing, buzzing, humming, rattling, rattling, humming. Cycling is never quiet. The noise in the wind, on the road and now... on stage?! The composer, saxophonist and bicycle player Jana De Troyer and her team invite you to "Rückenwind", a scenic concert dedicated entirely to cycling. In "Rückenwind", bicycles are not only the central theme, they also become real musical instruments. Together with harpsichord, saxophone and voice, a surprising world of sound between humming, humming and whirring is created. For curious ears of all ages.
