| About Club Contemporary Classical |
|
CLUB CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL (C3) is dedicated to innovative mergings between classical music and club culture, presenting high-quality works which fit a club interior both aesthetically and aurally. Throughout the history of Western music, “serious“ music has been paired by composers with popular material, thereby pushing forward the development of the art form. This tradition continues today through composers utilizing techniques and aesthetics common to club culture and electronic music such as repetition, sampling or the integration of visuals. As an important location for classical music and the current world capital of the club scene, Berlin makes a highly suitable location for what is perhaps the first festival to exclusively showcase only music that blurs the boundaries between these two, usually very separate, worlds. C3 aims to open the ears of club and classical music fans, widening the audience-base for both, and to promote creative dialog between both scenes. Connections between art forms is also a focal point of the festival location, the Berghain, considered one of the world’s top clubs (2007 and 2008 readers’ survey, International DJ Magazine). The artists featured in the C3 program are selected to reflect the wide variety of approaches underway internationally and are but a small representation of activity taking place in isolated pockets worldwide. Their work is presented in short, live sets of approximately 45 to 60 minutes accompanied by visuals. DJs are featured to build a purely electronic bridge from contemporary classical stage to dance floor.
Club Contemporary Classical 2009 was made possible by the Capital Cultural Fund of Berlin (Hauptstadtkulturfonds)
