New music/ electronic music

With the "anders hören" (Listening differently) series of concerts the Goethe-Institut has embarked on a journey of discovery in South-East Asia to explore new ways to adopt and promote classical music. In February 2017 the Ensemble Resonanz toured in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Manila, Hanoi and Singapore and has drawn parallels between music from the 17th, 18th century, contemporary and electronic music together with local DJs in a two-day workshop and in concert.

Music Spaces in the Arab World is a project of the Goethe-Institutes in the region Middle East/North Africa - inspired by the Hamburg-based project www.kuechensessions.de - which offers young musicians as well as seasoned bands an opportunity to present themselves in live concerts as well as online. Since 2016 live concerts are organized as small, local events in a private setting, which means that the select audience can get up close and personal with the musicians. The concerts are held all over the Arabic world, in Alexandria, Beirut, Bethlehem, Baghdad, Gaza, Cairo, Khartoum, Ramallah and Tunis and the audience can experience music ranging from traditional songs to Arabic Alternative Rock.
