Project PurPur - European sound interchange
Start date: May 1, 2011,
The PurPur project is based on the idea of exchange of experience rooted in different traditions. Based on the already working OAO project, which is dedicated exclusively to passing on an important Austrian cultural heritage, the Wiener Klangstil (Viennese Sound) with all its different facets and instruments and techniques), the project PurPur wants to take things one step further and compare different national music traditions, styles of sound, techniques and schools of compositions (including historical) with the Viennese Sound. During 8 auditions, members of the Wiener and Berliner Philharmoniker will select highly talented musicians in the partner countries and will then be responsible for the praxis-orientated training. In 2 seminars, 4 workshops and 4 concert projects including one opera project, the European participants will gain a new view regarding their music tradition together with or compared to other traditions. They will also experience the famous Viennese Tradition, going back all the way to Mozart and Haydn, and even earlier: Our Coorganizer Festival SEVIQC Bre ice will advise on questions of Ancient Music. Centered around these projects and the participating co-organizers, Festival SEVIQC Bre ice and the Kvarner Festival, which will also provide concert opportunities in Croatia and Slovenia, and the other eight associated partners, we want to create a dense, Internet based network, facilitating the exchange between musicians and teachers, but also topics and materials (scores and instruments). One main topic of this network will be the question of mobility. With some small workshops, we will discuss questions of mobility, their challenges and difficulties with the participants and publish solutions in the network. We also want to submit these solutions to the European Commission.
