A Galician Seran in Vienna – Third Edition An evening like a late gathering at the day's edge: voices, stories, music – and a space that gradually fills with life. Seran is what they call it in Galicia. And exactly this feeling comes to Sargfabrik for one night. "Galician Night in Vienna" brings music and culture from the Atlantic coast into a new resonant space. Not folklore in a display case, but a living exchange: tradition meets present, sound meets memory, Vienna meets Galicia. A dialogue that unfolds – between songs, stories, and shared moments. At the center stands a time of upheaval and rupture: the cultural flowering around the Second Spanish Republic – and its abrupt silencing. Inspired by Jesús Bal y Gay, medieval sounds, Renaissance music, traditional melodies, and echoes of modernity interweave into a multi-layered soundscape. Music becomes a carrier of memory, a narrator of exile, loss, and survival. What makes this evening special is what lies between: shared listening, pausing, continued reflection. Musicians from Galicia and Vienna meet as equals and create a space that is more than a concert. And because a true seran never consists of music alone, there is also a small culinary journey to Galicia: for tasting, sharing, and toasting. The concert is part of the Espazos Sonoros Festival, an established music festival in Galicia (Spain) with nearly two decades of history and international reach.
