Workshop. Dialogue. Music.
Members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Are Guests at the PalaisPopulaireIn a new chamber music series at the PalaisPopulaire, members of the Berliner Philharmoniker will introduce themselves and their instruments and talk in a relaxed atmosphere about the works presented, interpretation issues, the way a chamber music ensemble works, and much more. As a result, the natural distance normally found between musicians and audience will be removed and the evening will become a place of encounter.
The theme of the evening is “Lost Generation II.” Once again, composers will be presented who, for various reasons, have fallen into oblivion. In the 2021/22 season, the Berliner Philharmoniker will focus on the theme of “Lost Generation” and recall forgotten composers between the late Romantic period and New Music.
Alexander Bader, clarinet, Anna Mehlin, violin, and Ludwig Quandt, violoncello, will perform works by Sandor Veress and Hans Gal.

SORIDAW'
SORIDAW' is an interactive site-specific installation by Shahed Naji and Sangwon Nam. It will be exhibited in the Atelier of PalaisPopulaire from July, 1st to July, 6th 2022.
The name SORIDAW' is derived from two words: SORI means “sound” in Korean and DAW' means “light” in Arabic. This name was chosen as Sani (Sangwon Nam) is from Korea and Shahed is Lebanese. This combination brings together both artists and concepts in a unique artistic approach.
The installation is comprised of many systems that function over different interweaving layers of light and sound with the visitor. The systems are connected through sensors which are built especially for the installation. These systems are designed to fit within the room and its architecture, based on measurements related to acoustics and the physical properties of the space.
Shahed Naji is a Lebanese artist based in Berlin. He is working since many years on cresting interactive lightscapes using neon tubes with sensors that function according to people’s movement within a space.
Sani (Sangwon Nam) is a sound artist from South Korea. His work is focused on creating Sonic soundscapes using electronic sound in various ways such as installation, performance and digital media. Using sound in creating progress is the basic conception of his works of art.
