Among the activities commemorating the Europe Day – May 9, Austria Embassy and Hoa Sen University had the pleasure to hold the Austria Jazz concert at the University on May 7 2018.  The performance gathered 120 participants despite of the unfavorable weather. Hoa Sen University also had the honor to welcome Mr. Christian VLAZNY – Deputy Head of Mission, 2nd Secretary and Consul of Austria Embassy Hanoi and Hoa Sen University’s President – Dr. Luu Tien Hiep.

Michaela Rabitsch, singer, composer and Austria’s only and top female Jazz trumpet player is called a modern day female Chet Baker by the US magazine Jazzscene. Michaela and her ingenious partner, composer and incredible fluid guitarist Robert Pawlik present a program, inspired by their numerous tours of the last years through Europe, Asia, the America and Africa, with concerts and festival appearances in nearly 50 countries, delighting equally press and audience with their crossover repertoire of Jazz, pop and latin, spiced up with a touch of world.

They are presenting Jazz with catchy melodies, strong harmonies, groovy rhythms and adventurous improvisations in a fine balanced vocal-instrumental mix. With brilliant instrumental technique and a silky velvet voice they are clothing their songs into a trendy, smooth-cool Jazzrobe. Robert Pawlik’s guitar is equally able to create a cristal-clear frame full of feeling for the expressive voice and the sensitive trumpet playing of Michaela Rabitsch and to be the virtuoso replacement for the groove of a full rhythm section.
