Floating Glass

The new concert dramaturgy of the Vienna Glass Armonica Duo takes the requirements of contemporary stage presentation into account without putting undue emphasis on the superficial, speculative use of stage effects. The integration of light and video dramaturgy serves solely to communicate the charisma of the glass instruments to the audience as sensitively as possible. It enables the listeners to penetrate to the heart of the music, as it were: seeing as they hear and hearing as they see.

The Vienna Glass Armonica Duo found a congenial partner for the intended intensification of their concert programme on stage in the author and film artist Peter Wagner. Without eclipsing the sensitive musical construct with excessive visualisation, he manages to create an additional evocative level of hearing and integrate the sound into an overall experience of the senses through the subtle use of colours and light. This is all the more captivating and intense because of its very unobtrusiveness.

"Floating Glass" is an appealing version of the Vienna Glass Armonica Duo's concert programme that has proven equally enchanting for both younger and older audiences.
