RE:COMPOSE

Bringing together three generations of composers, through the idea of recomposing, was the motto of the homonymous project, which was initiated, developed and presented by Minas Borboudakis and the Education- Program of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. [Further details here]

EIN JUNGER SOMMERNACHTSTRAUM

Pop songs on texts by Shakespeare? The answer on this question was given by 63 pupils of 4 different schools who created a circle of songs based on the Shakespearean "Midsummer Night's Dream". The high school pupils composed and performed their songs under Minas Borboudakis' coaching while groups of young dancers performed a choreography on the original music by Mendelssohn.
