Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra to perform in Vietnam
The Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra from Hamburg, Germany and DJ Brezel Göring will present a crossover of baroque and electronic music at the Grand Concert Hall at the Vietnam National Academy of Music, at 77 Hao Nam Street in Hanoi on October 20.

Under the framework of the concert series “Hearing Differently,” the programme aims to offer surprising and unusual sound experiences to listeners.
Baroque meets electronic music—two seemingly incompatible genres merge, yielding a surprising synergy. The result is a fascinating dialogue of musical structures and rhythms.
It seems that the Elbipolis Orchestra is helping to bring “old music” to younger audiences.
Founded in 2008, the Elbipolis Orchestra has achieved many successes. The orchestra includes musicians from Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin.
Some milestones for the orchestra include their invitation to the philharmonic orchestra of Cologne, to the Potsdam Sanssouci Music Festival and to the Rheingau Music Festival.
In 2008, they started a new concert series called “Baroque Lounge” in cooperation with the NDR, the RADIALSYSTEM V from Berlin and Kampnagel, in which baroque and electronic music meet.
Brezel Göring is a theologian and musician. As a teenager he played with electronic instruments he had made himself.
In 1993, together with Françoise Cactus, he founded the underground pop duo “Stereo Total.” They published 37 albums and played concerts in the US, South America, Australia, Japan and many European countries.
The DJ, who is one of the leading artists on the German electronic scene, will interpret the classic sounds of the Elbipolis Orchestra and translate them into electronic sounds.
Free tickets are available at Goethe-Institut Hanoi from October 13.
