This special evening combines an enjoyable concert, a listening challenge and music psychology research: as part of a research programme by the University of Oldenburg, members of the Orchester im Treppenhaus, which is known for unusual concert formats, play a surprise programme. Via smartphone, the audience can subsequently rate their listening experience and, at the end, compete in the »Golden Ear Awards« competition.
With anyone, not only are our personal musical tastes quite different, but also our listening skills. So, music psychology research also concerns itself with and explores causes of these differences – to improve concert experiences for people with hearing impairments as well. After the concert, smartphone rating and challenge, the musicians involved and academics from the University of Oldenburg illustrate the results of their experiment.
Please note: this event takes place in German.
If you enjoy listening attentively, you are also in the right place for the concert with the Quatuor Ébène on 14 February in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall.
