New Concert Formats in Classical Music
New performative formats in classical music gain increasing amounts of acclaim and make room for new markets. Many successful examples get international recognition and create new situations for the audience, conquer new venues, create new content and disciplines and cross borders to other disciplines such as performance, dance, visual art and new technologies.
These new approaches are becoming more and more interesting for both, common concert presenters, as well as more experimental platforms. We shall discuss: alternative venues; adapting the audience situation; use of high-tech; digital experiences; combination with other disciplines and genres; scenic productions; changing the parameters of the content; installations and reaching over to contemporary art forms.
