Lost and Found

Description

Would you like to stand on stage at the Elbphilharmonie with 40 other creative people? Meet other generations and cultures? Express your thoughts on topics such as grief, loss and hope, and ultimately create your own work?

Under the direction of an artistic team, the »Lost and Found« project is all about reflections on loss and hope. The ideas generated by the participants will be translated into music, words and video, compiled into a performance and presented in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall, accompanied by Ensemble Shiraz.

Everyone aged 16 to 99 is invited to participate: applications from people of all genders and identities are welcome.

Participation is free of charge.

You don’t need any prior knowledge, just the desire and freedom to share your thoughts and ideas!
