A LITTLE NIGHTMARE MUSIC - THE SHOW

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go To The Concert Hall...


The concert begins. The music is sublime. Not even a pin would dare drop. Suddenly, a cell phone rings and the madness starts. The pianist loses his hand, the violinist, while tuning, falls asleep, and later wakes up in the middle of a motorway, transformed into a 'Riverdancer'. When the pianist returns, the piano is locked, telling him to insert his credit card. Meanwhile, the violinist loses his bow to a vacuum cleaner and his partner just talks on the phone while reading a paper, eating, and, playing the piano upside down all at the same time. These and many other 'nightmares' unfold before audiences eyes and ears.
"A Little Nightmare Music" is a unique show, full of virtuosity, enchanting music, and zany, outrageous humour. Ideal for audiences aged 8 to 88, this show is sure to captivate you and crack you up whether you are a classical music enthusiast or the type who runs for cover, at the mere mention of Mozart.
Aleksey and Hyung-ki have been working together since their beginnings at the Yehudi Menuhin School and the age of 12. Bringing together music with theater and comedy was never alien to them. Through the years they developed their ideas in various ensembles and other projects, giving them time to ripen and to develop into their ground breaking new show. The ideas are gathered on many levels, sometimes they stem from the music, sometimes from situations in the music or theater world, or just every day occurrences. Their big inspirations are old time greats such as Monty Python, Victor Borge, as well as today's Little Britain and Southpark.
The unusual duo sparks inspiration off in each other. When someone brings an idea along, one can be sure that the other will pick up on it and suggest something that will lead it off into a completely different direction. Together they then develop it into a hilarious musical sketch or a touching, yet amusing piece of music. Great care is taken to make the humor and performance appreciable for both young and old, music aficionado and first comer, in order not to alienate a potential new audience. Their humor always works on several levels.
When a joke is made at the expense of something that someone with knowledge of music will appreciate more, they always have a parallel level, where something happens that is either funny or beautiful in a way that everyone will understand and be touched by it.
A very important part for Igudesman & Joo is bringing more young people and people who might not be acquainted to it, to enjoy the world of classical music. The responses after their performances have highlighted this very strongly, as they were very often told, that people who were new to these genres were highly inspired to go to regular concerts. And many a music student has changed their mind of giving up their instrument!
