Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to travel from Germany to Vietnam. The exchange between musicians in Vietnam and Germany however continues. With innovative ideas we make dialogue and joint concerts possible.
The past months’ experience has shown that online concerts, rehearsals, and lessons are but a poor substitute for performing together live in one location, especially with scores that require exact notation and nuanced conducting.
That means musicians had to adjust their repertoire. The musicians from Germany and Vietnam jointly developed a program with which they react creatively to both the spatial distance and the time delays caused by the Internet.
In this concert they focus on works written after the 1960s that do not rely on precise pitch or perfect unison and that do not prescribe an exact duration or specific instruments, etc. These pieces are scored with graphic elements or mere text, allowing and even intending for each musicians and each ensemble to create a whole new interpretation and sound entirely different from any other performance of that same piece. These scores whose core element is a free and varied approach are ideally suited for the kind of socially distanced collaboration we are now planning.
