These creative projects are the heart of our education-programme. They are interdisciplinary and seek to investigate the many different perspectives within the repertoire of the orchestra. Herein the various facets are suggested by the particular name of a project, for example Music-ART, MusicFILM or REMIX. Scheduled to precede the Berliner Philharmoniker’s own evening programmes, the presentations of the education concerts take place in the Philharmonie, as well as other venues and institutions in Berlin such as prisons, schools or the arena in the Berlin district of Treptow. Here in the arena the yearly dance project creates a forum for people of all generations to experience a grand musical introduction to the whole orchestra, to community dance as well as the chance to interact and perform together.
Coro by Luciano Berio is the basis for this first creative education project of the season. Presentation: 10 September 2010 at 6.30 pm in
the Foyer of the Philharmonie
Reflecting on the underlying themes of Mahler’s First Symphony, students will create and structure a composition based on the paths of lives, the connection to nature and the parallel joys, turbulences and tribulations encountered during these individual paths. The project will also investigate the romantic Symphonic Poem as an architectural form and as a vehicle for displaying the emotions of the romantic period. The question will be: How differently or similarly do we feel and express our feelings today? The composition will be presented in the Foyer of the Sydney Opera House during the orchestra’s big concert tour in November 2010.
OnTOUR: MusicART – From Mahler’s time
The second OnTOUR-project will revisit the material and themes from the Third Symphony by Gustav Mahler. This creative project will be carried out with schoolchildren from London during the orchestra’s visit in February and also
be repeated in April in Berlin. A virtual notice board on our website will also be set up to allow participants to hear of each other’s musical discoveries and thoughts on life whilst doing the project. The presentation of the children’s work will be in London during the orchestra’s concert tour in February 2011.
This year’s performance and choice of music, however, lies in the hands of the conductor Emmanuelle Haїm, who, together with the choreographer Vivienne Newport and their young participants will create an evening of music and dance based on song cycles of the French baroque composer Jean-Philippe Rameau. Performance: 25 and 26 June 2011 at 7.30 pm in the arena Berlin in the district of Treptow
