About The Event
Again, this year, we in Vienna will join this global movement for the second time - organizing an event with musicians, singers and dancers and some speakers involving the audience singing and dancing all together. We are a small group of women from around the world organizing this event – Yvonne Birnbaumer, Margaret Carter, Ewa Dziedzic, Jenny Simanowitz and me, Aiko Kazuko Kurosaki - and I´m in charge of the artistic part of the program as I´m a dancer, performer and a choreographer.
This year´s performing artists are -
Monika Ballwein - Margaret Carter - Desislava Gudjunova with her daughter Alex - Karine Label - SpontanSirenen / Lilo Lengl, Maren Rahmann, Lise Vinberg - SambAttac Vienna - Cornelia Scheuer - Aminata Seydi / Rainer Gradischnig / Wolfgang Schmidt - Jenny Simanowitz and The Revolutionary Sisters - Laura Unger&Friends - Aiko Kazuko Kurosaki. Also Maria Stern, an Austrian songwriter - will present the latest arrangement of the Austrian song written last year for One Billion Rising, recorded this year with various soloists and a choir.
This event is registered officially at the city council and is an independent, non-partisan event. We are thankful to all our sponsors who provide financial as well as in kind support (see sponsors for a list of contributors).
