ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the MCO raise questions about conventions in classical music through Bye Bye Beethoven, an innovative concert performance.
In keeping with the motto of this year’s Hamburg International Music Festival, Freedom, this performance attempts to free classical music from traditional expectations. Bye Bye Beethoven, which was conceptualized by Patricia Kopatchinskaja, will be presented at Kampnagel, a performance space that doubles as a meeting place for freelance artists and a laboratory of ideas.
Patricia Kopatchinskaja, known for her versatility and curiosity, once said: “Classical music is like a big cruise ship, with everyone sitting in the back looking backward, at the past. No one is sitting in front looking forward…“
Bye Bye Beethoven, the fourth collaboration between the MCO and Patricia Kopatchinskaja, addresses such restraints and clichés of classical music through a staged production. This performance involves musicians in both conventional and unconventional roles, encounters with different genres of music – including a collaboration with sound designer Jorge Sanchez-Chiong – and discourse among sound, space and imagery.
