An evening on stars and music and all their trimmings
It begins in classical black: a chorus, a string sextet, the conductor, the soloist. But the concert does not commence. Instead, a highly entertaining, choreographed piece begins, on the rituals of the classical music scene, and how music is staged. Is it virtuosity that makes the star or is it rather the trimmings that surround it? Who do we celebrate? What do we idolise? What are they made of, the stars and superstars? Through variations and syncopated loops of sound and atmospheres, an overwhelming score on the mechanics of classical, modern, grand opera and minimalist music is created, with forays into down-to-earth folk and dance music, which finally culminates in a giant Pop-spectacle. And as intelligently, indeed sincerely, even affectionately ridiculed, as the cult of celebrity is on this evening, Velma still manages to succeed in creating a wonderful and glamourous trip, full of pathos, bathos and goose bumps. Velma is an electro pop band from Lausanne, who has been conquering the theatres of Europe with their staged musical performances.
Participants for the choir are being sought for the performance in Hanover. Registration and further information available at:
