The official website of the Eurovision Song Contest has just announced that Martin Grubinger, a world wide known percussionist, is going to take the Eurovision stage in the Grand Final on the 23rd of May as the interval act.

Martin has prepared a nine minute long programme which includes 40 instrumentalists, as well as the Grammy winning Arnold Schoenberg Choir. The piece they are going to perform is a mix of classical music, big band music, choral singing and percussion, and it is based on classical themes of major Austrian composers, transformed into salsa, funk, Fusion, and African-Cuban styles.

Here is one of Martin Grubinger’s performances – it is very much worth checking out!
