A Powerful Feminine Presence in Jazz
"Trieb," the current project by Katrin Weber and her band, is anything but ordinary: original compositions - settings of female poetry - and favorite songs are performed in German. Alongside singer, composer, and pianist Katrin Weber, renowned representatives of Austrian jazz take the stage. The unusual blend of jazz, blues, chanson, and Brazilian rhythms is passionate, captivating, and above all, authentic. This music expresses the primal force of female creativity, which - after a certain age - is no longer willing to compromise. Or, as Rose Ausländer says in the song "Noch bist Du da, wirf ’ Deine Angst in die Luft."

The audience will not be able to escape the magical effect of "Trieb." Especially since Katrin Weber, as an experienced music cabaret artist and improvisational theater musician, knows how to involve her audience in the show. An unforgettable evening for all music fans looking forward to powerful female energy and driving grooves.
