Topics and content

The project combines the classical art song tradition with modern storytelling in the digital space in order to reach new target groups. Before filming, young song artists reflected on aesthetic experience in the digital world together with Prof. Holger Noltze (TU Dortmund). In the subsequent conception of the content and music of the films, the singers and pianists set their own thematic priorities and were supported co-creatively by Andrea Thilo, coach and producer, and Thomas Grube, director and producer. The young talents, who were at the beginning of their careers when the films were made, courageously presented their very personal views.
