1:1 CONCERTS
by Stephanie Winker, Franziska Ritter & Christian Siegmund (Germany)
This project features a 10-minute non-verbal 1-to-1 encounter between a listener and a musician. The concert attendees do not know who is going to play. The concept also explores extraordinary concert venues. Spaces and venues are provided by private hosts.

The Baccarelli Institute is a non-profit organisation in Brazil that offers music education for 1,200 kids in Heliópolis, where it has formed the first symphony orchestra in the world in a slum.
Kultūra į kiemus (Culture to the Yards) (Lithuania)
During the first lockdown, “Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022” together with the community programme “Fluxus Labas” have launched this project devoted to bringing back such feelings as the thrill of anticipation of the live concert, the direct connection between the performers and the listeners/spectators around them.
these bones, this flesh, this skin
by Scottish Ensemble (UK)
