ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Our very own concert lab – that's what we somtimes like to call the “Musikwoche Hitzacker,” the renowned festival whose artistic directorship the MCO took over in 2024. Now in our second year, we have once again prepared ten exciting days of concerts and events, combining the familiar with the unfamiliar, and focusing on musical dialogue and new insights. We look forward to having you join us on this journey of discovery!
Have you always wanted to know what it is like at an MCO rehearsal? To sit among the musicians, as if you were yourself part of the orchestra? This interactive format allows the audience to be "close-up" to the MCO musicians, in the audience and on-stage, allowing one to witness the ins and outs of a rehearsal. Watch the musicians perform, feel them breathe, and listen to the music from a different perspective.
The participants will first hear a piece from this night's concert programme (the Opening Concert 'La Creation du Monde'); subsequently, they will be asked to pick, among the orchestra's instruments, those that they would like to listen to again with a specific theme or a part of the composition just heard. You would like to know what a viola sounds like, combined with a bassoon? This is your chance.
There is no entrance fee, but registration is required via Musikwoche Hitzacker, here.
