The Symphonic Everyday
This project is a cooperation between Opus Norden, Opus 96 and Filmkreatörerna.
Our concept:
We wish to present advanced symphony music to people who have limited experience of New music in order to increase their understanding of this art.
The music is seven newly composed works corresponding to “one week” written by Opus 96 for Opus Norden’s sinfonietta, (a small version of the symphony orchestra.)
The Film, made by Filmkreatörerna will be seven music videos based on this music.
The presentation of the music-videos is intended to take place in environments where New music usually have few if any listeners such as schools, clubs, companies, rock-festivals and TV and cinema.
The other possibility is to present the music as a concert “live” with Opus Norden sinfonietta. The performance can easily be designed for schools, companies or events.
Filmkreatörerna is owned and run by the producer Daniella Prah and film director Klara Björk.
The company is located in Trollhättan and has lately produced two novel-films, tre documentaries and co-produced a long film.
Moreover, several commercials, music videos and various information films.
