Concert Barock-Lounge

77 Hao Nam Str, Hanoi
From Goethe Institut:
The Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra from Hamburg and DJ Brezel Göring are presenting a crossover of baroque and electronic music from our series “Hearing differently”.
Baroque meets electronic music – two seemingly incompatible genres merge into a surprising synthesis. The result is a fascinating dialogue that strengthens, emphasizes, alienates and ironizes musical structures and rhythms. It is the particular concern of the Elbipolis ensemble to introduce the younger audience to the “old music”. “Baroque Lounge” was founded in 2008 and was highly successful until now. In a relaxed lounge atmosphere Elbipolis are playing together with Brezel Göring who is one part of the German duo Stereo Total. Brezel Göring, who is one of the leading artists in the German electronic scene, immediately interprets the classic sounds of the ensemble and translates it into electronic sounds.
The concert takes place within the frame of the concert series “Hearing differently” with which we aspire to present surprising and unusual sound experiences to our listeners.
