Discover new ways of listening
Sometimes we hear the music, but are we really listening?
PLAY is a workshop series for musicians and music lovers who want to explore the phenomenon of ‘listening’ and experience (or create) music themselves. Joseph Puglia and Cristiano Viviani guide you through the listening landscape and, together with 20 musical participants, explore how audiences and performers collaborate and how we can connect through music.
In PLAY, you’ll be challenged to reflect on our collective ownership of sound. During the workshop sessions, you will delve into compositions from different genres and time periods. You’ll also have the opportunity to present your own work to the other participants. You’ll engage in listening meditations and explore the boundaries of sound by studying compositions created for non-musicians.
Recensies & quotes
‘A brilliant insight on how we can rewire our listening capabilities!’
‘I discovered completely new ways of experiencing music; I will never listen to a concert in the way I used to do before.’
Joseph Puglia (1984) is always searching for new approaches and sounds on the violin.
He is praised for the ‘astonishing, magical moments’ he creates during concerts. Or as De Volkskrant wrote after one of his shows: ‘On your way home, you notice that your ears have opened up – even the familiar sounds of the city seem different.’ Joseph is a professor at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, where he explores how active audience participation can create deeper musical connections in concerts. Joseph finds inspiration in the music and practice of Pauline Oliveros
