ABOUT ANDERS HÖREN
The Goethe-Institut released a series of concerts across South-East Asia dubbed ‘’Anders Hören’’ (Listening differently) inviting audiences to take part in a journey of adopting and promoting classical music. The series started in 2015 with violinist Mirijam Contzen, who was playing ‘’concerts in the dark’’, in a pitch-black concert hall. More and more musicians and orchestras in Germany are getting involved in presenting classical music outside the traditional context of concerts, and are looking for new formats to engage the audiences. In 2016, the Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra and DJ Brezel Göring travel through South-East Asia with ‘’Baroque Lounge’’, presenting a new approach to connect classical music and electro. In February 2017, Ensemble Resonanz will visit five South-East Asian cities, and collaborate with local DJ’s, to present their ‘’Urban String’’ programme, and swap the concert hall with an authentic club atmosphere.
