MKZ students combine Klee with Beethoven
Pupils from the Zurich Conservatory of Music MKZ visualize Bethoven's music inspired by sketches by Paul Klee as part of a concert by the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich.
In order to immerse themselves in Beethoven's music without any prior knowledge, pupils aged 13 to 17 at MKZ set out to develop their own visual interpretations of the iconic Fourth Symphony using special software. The project culminates in a live performance of the work with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich at the Tonhalle Maag.
Selected student visualizations will be projected onto a large screen behind the orchestra. The music students will use a car window crank to synchronize the visualizations live with the music and thus become part of the performance themselves.
The concert will take place twice - on Sunday, March 18 at 2:15 and 5 p.m. in the Tonhalle Maag concert hall, conducted by Yi-Chen Lin.
