Donaufest

This post is overdue. In July we saw some bands perform as part of the Donaufest, which happens every two years. A lot of stands with food and handcrafts are set up along the Danube ("Donau" in German), representing all the countries along the river. We saw Safran, a European folk music trio, one night and Ensemble Zengö, which plays Hungarian music, the next night.

We also saw the Balkan Brass Battle, a "competition" between Fanfare Ciocarlia, from Romania, and Boban & Marko Markovic Orchestra, from Serbia.
