“The City Composing” is a project that gives the chance to everybody to be a musical composer for one day involving non-musicians in the musical process creation. It gives people the possibility to write their ideas and listen to the creation afterward in a concert where professional musicians will perform those non-professional scores.
During the month of February and March in Brussels, there are in different places around the city music notebooks and color pencils where everybody can write and draw music or text. After, this material is collected by Hara Alonso, pianist, and composer that makes the rearrangement of the scores, composing a connection between the different ideas in the notebooks. The final concert will be held in Brussels on June 28.
For the concert on the 28th of June in the Mercelis Theatre, the ensemble will be formed by a group of international musicians:
Clara Riviere: Cello
Evridiki Novak. Voice
Jacob Venneste: Percussion
Lorena Méndez: Flute
Flora Campbell-Tiech: Violin
Elias Papadopoulos: Clarinet
Hara Alonso: Piano
The aim of this project is to make people active creators, not just mere receivers, and trigger interest in contemporary music. In the concert, there will be a projection of the scores with an explanation of the compositional process, how the composer took decisions, how was for the musicians playing the scores, etc. There is a didactic approach so that contemporary music gets closer and more understandable to the audience.
