When the jury de Marco raises his hand and plays a note on his small pocket trumpet, people start singing and make music – in the concert hall and on the road. No sheet music is necessary; After the gestures of their hand, people are allowed to find their way for a shared sound.
What de Marco makes is known as community music. “In high-classical music culture, all this is about perfection, interpretation and loyalty to score,” D. Marco DW.
For him, community music means “making music at a uniform notch,” where social interaction between people of different ages and cultures plays an important role in music.
Music construction on growth in Germany
De Marco has tapped in Zegtist. More and more people are taking music in German Music Information Center, Germany for a study by Information and Document Bodies and sing at an amateur level – even without formal texts. In the last four years, the number has increased by 2 million, reaching 16.3 million people.
“At the age of 15, about half of all children are music music,” the German Music Council General Secretary Antje Valentin said for the umbrella organization for music culture.
Children who are introduced for music become tomorrow’s concertors. Currently, classical music presenters are particularly focused on reaching the young audience. Special programs and new concert formats are being designed to awaken curiosity among groups that can never set foot in a concert hall.
The music that is for resonance is one that moves people, surprises the subject or fills the subject with surprise.
For example, the Arora orchestra in London performs complete symphony with memory. D. Marco’s Pocket Trumpat People’s Curiosity.
Duo Cenaptic, Made from Pianoist Edel Thoma and singer Theresa Szorac, addresses the psychological states of the mind in the style of a live podcast. They combine the song Chakra, the Melancholic “Winter Trip” of Franz Sent, with texts and new music spoken by Bernhard Lang, which makes a staging of the song.
“We are interested in how society deal with psychological stress, the way it is experienced by the hero on ‘Winter Journey’,” Thoma said. The program has been structured like a live podcast in which viewers can follow a person’s pain with a mixture of curiosity and aerialism.
Many musicians are trying to get Nix out in the concert market with unique programs. Pianoist Dana Dorken and Vibraphoneist Pascal Shumacher recently released a new album with piano and vibraphraphone with music composer Philip Glass’s driving rhythmic pattern.
The ethiyal tone of vibraphone is specificly captivating for the audience. “For me, as a classical pianist, it was a completely new world,” Dorken told DW Beethowenfest bonnLuxemboor Pascal Schumacher comes from the world of Jazz. “It is very unusual to work with vibraphones,” said Shumacher. “You have to strengthen yourself again and again.”
What can be combined with classical music?
The German Music Council Valentine, see heavy potential in concerts with innovative formats – especially when they combine classical music with sounds from other cultures. Valentin said, “I see tremendous growth with transactive enclosures,” Valentin said, “when jointly with classical music.”
An example is the Bernhard Shimpellesger, who learned rhythm and tunes from a guru in India. He brings tools to classical concerts from all over the world. In South Africa, he met Cellist Abel Cello.
“Abel plays Bakh and sings an African hymn on it,” Shimpelsborger said. “It is incredible.” They have performed together for years as a pair.
Selaoco has written on orchestral work that combines classical and South African music, which is on permission with Shimpelsborgers. For the last two years, they are performing it worldwide. “We play it continuously with a new orchestra everywhere,” Shimpelsborger said, “And thus I made my way into the classical world.”
Social media and ‘real life faced’
De Marco has therefore traveled to the world collecting music from various cultures for a project about Beethoven. At Bithowenfest in Bonn, he founded a neighboring song. He is now working on a video for social media about the group.
Today, it is almost impossible to draw attention without the appearance on social platforms. Young British organizer and affected Anna Lapwood is a prime example: his social media channels have more than 2 million followers.
Of course, this requires continuous attention and fresh material, vibraphoneist Shumakar said, “But the advantage is that you can easily and quickly reach a specific audience.”
De Marco said that it was not or click that matters. His videos are always to lead to real -life encounters.
“When you make music in cultures, the feeling of understanding for another culture develops very quickly,” hey said. In today, it can be an important contribution to mutual acceptance.
