Whether standing or sitting, dancing or running, from a bird's eye view or in the thick of things – music can be enjoyed in so many different ways. Stegreif's feel:free is an invitation to rediscover orchestral music. It is aimed at people who never listen to classical music, those who love to groove, and those who want to experience a well-known repertoire in a new way. Because orchestral music can be so much more than existing conventions: the joy of making music and experiencing music, a wondrous mixture of strong emotions and tender moments. Feeling and freedom. Unleashed energy.
With feel:free, Stegreif deliberately focuses on the atmosphere at the moment of the event. Works by well-known and unknown composers, such as Wilhelmine von Bayreuth, Emilie Mayer and Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, flow into this frenzy. Original compositions by ensemble members are just as much a part of it as many improvised moments, which the audience not only accompanies with its reactions, but also actively shapes.
