Living room

The living room: a familiar place that radiates warmth, a place where people come together, inspire each other and charge themselves. In his work Living Room Music, composer John Cage instructed the musicians to use domestic objects and architectural elements as instruments.

Magazines, cardboard, books, the floor, the wooden frame of a window ... The stage becomes a living room. In the middle of the living room, a cellist and an viola player back to back Janusgesicht by the German composer Matthias Pintscher. Janus's head has two faces, symbol of ambivalence and contrast. Contemporary music is interspersed with masterful, baroque concerts with viola player Nils Mönkemeyer.
