Today’s digital platforms offering instant gratification through easily reachable soundbites ruined this. Creating a skipping culture, they virtually erased the curated wholesome listening experiences from the surface of the Earth. So rather than enjoying a five-course gourmet dinner in a restaurant, people flock to drive-ins to get an instant fast-food fix.
So, going to a concert is the last resort for everyone who still appreciates the complexity and intricacy of pieces of different music put together in a meaningful context. Rather than an instant bland-tasting musical fix, one gets richness of tastes, layers of aromas and an intricate dialogue of complementing or contrasting sensory experiences.
And this is precisely what the Simon Trpčeski and Friends concert offers. A journey of discovering new aspects of both new and well-known music formed by either similarities or contrasts of the pieces put together. A dialogue of epochs and styles. The full range of emotional responses evoked by the very first and evolving to the very last note. The thrill of encrypting various messages. A full (meaningful) circle!
