The Non-Piano / Toy Piano Weekend delves into a magical world of princesses, princes, enchanted creatures and magical objects, exploring traditional versions, as well as present day takes and twists on fairy tales and their characters. This time around you can undertake your musical expedition directly from the comfort of your own living room as we have turned this year's festival into a unique livestream experience.
Under the title Cinderella in Streamland, we invite you to join us on December 13th at 8pm CET to go on an exciting adventure through the fairytale forest. Specially redesigned for a streaming concert, we will present a program that takes the audience on a roller coaster ride revealing different perspectives on Cinderella and her comrades Rapunzel and the Little Mermaid. Strong-headed, brave, good-hearted and kind: do they all have the fate to become simply the wives of handsome, rich princes?
Needless to say there are also storytellers, magic wands and, of course,… magical kisses!
Access to the livestream will be given to all StartNext backers who have donated 5€ or more to our campaign (this will, of course, also be applied retroactively). Enchanting and magical performances on a diverse selection of toy pianos and other toy instruments await.
Originally, this year's festival was meant to consist of four concerts with in-person audiences but the COVID pandemic and Germany's November lockdown unfortunately foiled our plans. Due to the added costs caused by the postponement and the loss of revenue from ticket sales, we would very much appreciate your support on this journey.
