Musical voyage through the Radialsystem V
Friday 28.02.2014 / 7.00 pm - 1.00 am / Radialsystem VThe Nordic Night is an essential element of Nordlichter Biennale. The form of a wandering concert creates on one hand side a strong and engaging experience for the audience and on the other hand side gives space for presenting an unusual programme in an uncomplicated way. In 2014 the idea is to gather ensembles from all the Nordic countries and create a course regardless of genres that not only shows the musical variety of the North but also bring together artists that normally do not perform together in the same concert.

It is a bet that some words come to your mind on its own if you think of Estonian Music, its very special state and character. Words like rest, meditation, interiority or universal harmony. And it is a bet that you come to a standstill if you have to call more than three composers whose oeuvre is highly influenced by these characteristics. The Baltics have many voices!

House concerts
Residents of the city open their rooms for the project „Sounding Apartments“ and invite in collaboration with NORDLICHTER artists of the festival to perform little house concerts on the evening before the long Nordic Night. It is the creation of a very personal and direct exchange between artists and audience, enabling new realizations which is not possible in a concert hall.

Listen, reflect and re-map
The concept of Young Music Journalists is to be understood as a workshop programme. It is addressed to young people between 14 and 17 years, who want to visit the preparations for a concert or rehearsal as a reporter as well as interviewing the performing artists, announcing a concert or even writing a review afterwards. The young participants learn about necessary journalistic methods within hands-on oriented workshops, e.g. how to work on a research and to be appropriately prepared, they try out journalistic genres such as reportages, interviews, portraits, features and reviews. Julia Kaiser, a professional journalist and experienced media trainer from Berlin, is holding the workshops. The main focus of the workshops is how to work within an “editorial team”, but also supporting personal development of interests and skills of the individual participants. This workshop encourages the young participants to be curious and open minded but at the same time respectful towards music and artists and their skills, which demand passion and enthusiasm as well as organising abilities and hard work. To discover this is the most important requirement for becoming a good music journalist. It is never too early to try it out.Julia Kaiser is a freelance radio journalist in the field of culture and culture education. As a media trainer she refers her experience in journalism and her fascination in her profession to children, youth and young professionals.
