Golden Hall in Vienna's Musikverein
2010 Nov 25 - Concert with Tony Jagitsch and his Orchestra
Tony Jagitsch and his orchestra invited once more to the famous Vienna Musikverein and the audience willingly complied. Jagitsch presented the greatest Swing classics by Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and many others before a sold-out house. The VIENNA SWING SISTERS and singer Markus Richter carried the audience away and brought down the house. Tony Jagitsch’s not-so-serious question: „Don’t you want to go home?“ was answered by the entire audience with a euphoric „No!“ and only after quite a few encores the attendants eventually complied with the request.

This year, the first ‘Fête Imperial’, under the patronage of Frau Dkfm. Gen. Dir. Elisabeth Gürtler, took place at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. At the start the artists were brought to the red carpet in horse-drawn coaches, known in Vienna as Fiakers. The Vienna Swing Sisters and their jazz trio ‘The Moods’ entertained a large audience with well-known swing classics and of course many of the legendary Andrews Sisters greatest hits. It was a wonderful evening in truly regal surroundings where celebrities and high society could rub shoulders.
