Story Through Sound
Reimagining the Classical Concert Experience
(in English)
Classical concerts don’t have to be passive or restrictive!
In this unique program, we will explore the perspective and expressive process of the classical musician—on and off stage—and discover how you, as a listener, can connect your personal story and emotions with the music being performed.
Through interactive elements such as drawing, writing, and movement, participants are encouraged to freely express themselves as they listen to the music, transforming from passive listeners into active participants in the artistic experience.
Each piece will be followed by a 10-minute creative interval, offering space for participants to explore and share their emotional responses through various expressive forms.
