The soundtrack is ready. Now the film.
Upload your video and share the stage with Daria van den Bercken. The best entry will be screened during the premiere of Upload Klassiek, July 9 in Het Concertgebouw Amsterdam.
Classical music elitist? Only something for old people? Not online. Judging by the countless videos on YouTube, classical music is an art form that is very much alive on the internet. From moving performances between the sliding doors to massive Mozart flash mobs in the street, from webcam choirs to vegetable orchestras: the internet and new technologies are breathing new life into classical music. That is why Upload Cinema presents on 9 July in collaboration with the Royal Concertgebouw: Upload Classic, an evening-filling program full of beautiful videos about the practice of classical music. With Dagan Cohen as host, a guest performance by pianist Daria van den Bercken, various surprising intermezzi and much more.
As always with Upload Cinema, the audience is central here too. You can already participate now! There are two ways you can influence Upload Classic: by submitting web videos, and by entering the video competition. In this competition we give you the soundtrack, a piece of music by Händel, and you can make the film for it.
