Community Music Workshop

In the organizer's words:

Community Music Workshop

A hands-on immersion in community music practice through the creation of a spontaneous orchestra/performance with everyone in the room. All are welcome - regardless of their experience, instrument, ability or background as we create a brand new collective piece from scratch with everyone in a joyful, open and fully co-created process.

Community music is the creation of music as a human right, by professional and non-professional artists working together as equals, to standards and with goals that cannot be known in advance. It is "music for all" in practice. The workshop will be jointly led by a musician from the Orchester im Treppenhaus and an internationally experienced community musician and founding member of the first community music team in Germany at the Konzerthaus Dortmund.

Bring instruments (if you have any) and bring yourselves!

We recommend participation from the age of 9.

The Community Music Workshop takes place as part of the Orchestra in the Stairwell weekend:
Who doesn't know it? The agonizing feeling when, after a busy week at work, the stress of weekend leisure and errands takes a stranglehold on us. - But not on the first weekend in October. The orchestra in the stairwell invites you to a unique all-round musical weekend break. Replace the terror of errands, repairs and leisure time with a weekend full of music for your ears and soul and put together your own personal breather program: Friday, for example, for a personal emergency concert, Saturday favorite music at Feinkost Lampe, Sunday morning to make music yourself at "Community Music" or in the evening at "Roots", with intensive chamber music in the orchestra's namesake home, the Cumberlandsche Galerie. A sonorous discharge of classical music, a weekend of inner well-being, an oasis of communal recharging.

Further concerts on the staircase weekend:
