A musical Experiment

Organised by RESEO and Konzert Theater Bern - April 2018

​

“Pure Music” was an experimental project developed within the framework of the RESEO Spring Conference 2018, Shifting Perspectives, in collaboration with Konzert Theater Bern.

A group of four young adults was given two days to rethink the traditional classical concert experience. The project offered them the opportunity to test unconventional and innovative ideas with a professional string quartet. It was a unique chance to explore new formats, challenge established concert conventions, and create alternative ways of engaging audiences with chamber music.

​

Through brainstorming sessions, rehearsals, discussions, and the exchange of numerous ideas, we developed a concept that showcased new settings and possibilities for the contemporary chamber music concert.

Following the well-received performance, an open discussion took place between the project team, the musicians, and the audience. The exchange of impressions, emotions, and ideas proved both inspiring and thought-provoking. Bringing together the perspectives of musicians, dancers, actors, composers, directors, and audience members, the project ultimately demonstrated how collaborative experimentation can generate fresh and meaningful approaches to classical music performance.
