Time for me to step out of my classical music box and explore the world of electronic music with Classical X Electro, a genre crossing music performance by Hamburg based chamber group Ensemble Resonanz and local electronic artist similarobjects on February 9, 2017, 7:00 PM at the Beato Angelico Gallery, at the University of Sto. Tomas.
The concert, a part of the
ensemble’s Urban String Asian tour, will cover a wide spectrum of music ranging from Baroque
and Romantic period composers Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and Felix Mendelssohn respectively
to contemporary composers Alexander Schubert and Michael Gordon.
Urban String is the ensemble’s
monthly concert of classical and electronic music at the resonanzraum, located at
the St. Pauli district of Hamburg. Each session, employing a club atmosphere, almost
includes a guest dj or an electronic musician. And the Philippine stop is no
exception with similarobjects on board. Urban String won the Innovation Award from Classical:NEXT in
2016.

Ensemble Resonanz, an 18 member

Hamburg.

On the other hand, Jorge Juan
Wieneke V, under the stage moniker of similarobjects, is one of the big names
in Manila’s beat scene. I am not a fixture of the beat scene so I can't say that I'm familiar with his music but I’ve
encountered his work through the Cinemalaya
film #Y that earned
him a Gawad Urian nomination.
Classical X Electro is organized by the Goethe-Institut Philippinen with the support of the University of Sto. Tomas. Admission to the
concert is free.
