PROJECT
Painted By Music
Music and art bringing people together. A unique classical concert in which people in the audience will collaborate with the musicians by painting. Through this project we want to reach a specific audience, who often find it difficult to access classical music concerts or the concerts are not adapted to their needs and sensitivities. The concert will be divided into four parts. Three sections will convey different kinds of emotions: Joy and Fun, Anger and Calmness. Participants will be asked to create images reflecting the feelings that will be evoked by each part of the concert. The last part will be an improvisation inspired by the drawings of the audience.
