Fancy a premiere? After a creative composition workshop with the QuerKlang instructors, the participants present their own composition for the first time – live on stage in the Werner-Otto-Hall! They spent a week researching, designing, discarding – and composing their very own work. The result can be experienced directly before the Tbilisi Youth Orchestra's evening concert on 9 August.
Curious? With your ticket for the evening concert of the Georgian youth orchestra, you can be part of this special performance.
Would you like to take part in the workshop? You don't need any previous knowledge of music – just enjoy experimenting. Sign up here!
QuerKlang is a successful music pedagogy programme based in Berlin that has been enabling students to develop and perform their own compositions for more than 20 years. It is presented in cooperation with renowned institutions such as the Berlin University of the Arts and the Berliner Festspiele, particularly as part of the MaerzMusik festival.
The basic mission of QuerKlang is to encourage students of primary and secondary school age to explore music and their own creative possibilities through self-motivation. At the same time, they develop curiosity, tolerance and an understanding for the many forms musical creativity can take. The focus is not on a passive consumption of selected works of music, but on an experimental, independent and active exploration of various musical materials and ideas.
