20.00 Uhr
Weihnachtskonzert des Georg-Friedrich-Händel-Gymnasiums
Together with artists and musicians from ORWOhaus (‘mePro’) and Konzerthaus Berlin, the project participants explore how acoustic interactions arise when the open staircase and rooms of the concert hall are played with material created in the ORWO Show Room or stairwell.
In practical workshops, we creatively explore the connection between sound, space and light, developing compositions, improvisations and musical processes.
Various rooms in the ORWOhaus – from rehearsal rooms to event halls – become sources of inspiration thanks to their acoustic and lighting properties.
The aim is to create unique sound snapshots of the rooms, thereby opening up new artistic perspectives, learning technical skills and creating exciting artistic results as a team.
The project combines creative content, practical implementation and team building. It covers the basics of music, songwriting, drumming, voice, movement, field recordings and post-production, as well as media art workshops on video and light-sound design.
This results in light and sound compositions using overhead projectors and video beamers, shadow plays, stage lighting and video recordings for a project documentary teaser.
