What did the ensembles get from these Innovation Labs?
New ideas for new projects!
By widening their perspective on music and audiences, the ensembles got to imagine new forms of relationship with the audience. Most of them wanted to work on more interactive forms of concerts in order to connect with their audience in a warmer and more authentic way, and reenforce social bounding through music.
A brand new programme, a mini series, a new graphical identity, a programme for younger audiences, more time dedicated to social media in order to create a meaningful bound with the audience… What came out of these talks is very diverse, and all of the EEEMERGING+ partners are now ready to help the ensembles implement their ideas!
From technical help for recording to residencies at one of our 9 partners’ institutions (see where they are on this map!), the ensembles got to share with us what they needed in order to make their idea a reality!
Stay tuned for more information to come!
