\n<\/span><\/span>HIDALGO Pilot<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nClassical music at 380 nanometers<\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\nIn November 2017, HIDALGO set off for the first time: in the space-sound installation “Orplid”, we created a dream world inspired by the aesthetics of the Trance and Goa scene<\/span>. Before this first pilot event, we had spent weeks working on models, experimenting with black light and spraying more than 300 square meters of iron grating in an old factory building with lots of helpers. Over several nights, we hung the huge spatial sculpture in the pop-up hotel Lovelace in Munich’s old town. The result was a room full of darkness, fluorescent shapes and will-o’-the-wisps. <\/span>More than 300 people wanted to experience this, they lined up far out into the street.

\nHIDALGO I<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nThe old, wicked songs<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n“The HIDALGO is on the loose”, reported Bayerischer Rundfunk in September 2018. Two years of intensive preparation culminated in our first festival week. We played around with contradictions in five events: <\/span>old<\/span> and young, classicism and modernity, mainstream and niche. The first edition was designed as a journey through the cosmos of song. We began in the baroque Residenzsaal, which we transformed into a classical music club with lots of bass, then moved on to a salon evening in the <\/span>barbershop <\/span>and let poetry slammers clash with controversial songs with old-school images<\/span>of<\/span>women<\/span>in the alternative-urban epicenter of Munich, the Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel. We deconstructed Schubert with a cryptic performance and celebrated the finale with baritone, soprano and grand piano in the Minimal Club. The adventure had begun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDownload the FESTIVAL 2018 guide<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7047″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1624722927640{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”juicy_pink”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1624722467391{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7146″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n2019
\nHIDALGO II<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nIntoxication<\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\nMusic generates <\/span>endorphins<\/span>. In short: music gets you high\u2014and that rush connected all our works in 2019. We celebrated the Dionysian: the desire to lose oneself, to dissolve boundaries and to escape from everyday life. We distributed the drug “Song” at street concerts and among the antlers of the hunting and fishing museum. There we enriched the song material with electric guitar, synthesizer, video art and lots of silence to create a trance party. In the Gasteig, we combined modern poetry, new compositions and a video production for the <\/span>extremely elaborate<\/span> total work of art. The art song was available in all forms\u2014and for the first time also instrumental music <\/span>to <\/span>the newly <\/span>founded <\/span>HIDALGO festival orchestra, which led a raucous “wild parade” on the old slaughterhouse grounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDownload the FESTIVAL 2019 guide<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1624722932884{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”juicy_pink”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n2020
\nHIDALGO III<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nFailure<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nEven before the coronavirus pandemic, the motto of our third edition was clear: what interested us about failure was that it is a very intimate moment that everyone knows about, but hardly anyone likes to talk about. In eight formats, we artistically illuminated the taboo topic from all sides. Our audience saw musical theater with a boxing match, could confess via smartphone and sit between abysmal climbing walls at the orchestra. They felt the social distance of a Beethoven installation in a parking garage, saw the dance of a migration biography and debated in an electro club. They found our song duos in around 100 mini-concerts all over the city. Three prominent losers and a failed instrument ended the festival with a Fuck <\/span>Up<\/span> Night<\/span> as livestream.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDownload the FESTIVAL 2020 guide<\/a><\/strong>

\nHIDALGO IV<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nR*Evolution<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nIn our fourth edition, we called for R*Evolution\u2014and fought more politically than ever against sexualized violence and human-made climate change with song, music and all the arts. For the first time, we moved into a permanent festival center in the former “Sugar Mountain” concrete plant for a few days. Our festival orchestra played a wild 14th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich as an indictment of the destruction of our planet and its resources\u2014with contributions from a “Fridays for Future” activist and an environmental expert. In the musical theater RAPE & CULTURE, we used dance, sound design and the voices of those affected to make our contribution against the abuse of power in the classical music scene. “The Hidalgo Festival lives up to its high standards”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung.<\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO V<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nClassical Music Upcycled<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nDon’t be afraid of breaking taboos or traditions! In September and October 2022, we invited people to “Come into the workshop of seasoned sounds”. “We polish the triads and flex the coloratura. We screw light and sound art onto it, add sports and politics and courage and anger and look at the piece in black light.” We presented the interdisciplinary formats in urban locations such as the Boxwerk, the techno club “Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel” and the Utopia, but also as a bridge to the high culture scene in the transformer hall of the Gasteig HP8. “What an enrichment of the classical concert experience”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung. “An intense experience”, said Deutschlandfunk, our audience was “unusually diverse” and “unusually young”.<\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO II<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nIntoxication<\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\nMusic generates <\/span>endorphins<\/span>. In short: music gets you high\u2014and that rush connected all our works in 2019. We celebrated the Dionysian: the desire to lose oneself, to dissolve boundaries and to escape from everyday life. We distributed the drug “Song” at street concerts and among the antlers of the hunting and fishing museum. There we enriched the song material with electric guitar, synthesizer, video art and lots of silence to create a trance party. In the Gasteig, we combined modern poetry, new compositions and a video production for the <\/span>extremely elaborate<\/span> total work of art. The art song was available in all forms\u2014and for the first time also instrumental music <\/span>to <\/span>the newly <\/span>founded <\/span>HIDALGO festival orchestra, which led a raucous “wild parade” on the old slaughterhouse grounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDownload the FESTIVAL 2019 guide<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1624722932884{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”juicy_pink”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n2020
\nHIDALGO III<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nFailure<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nEven before the coronavirus pandemic, the motto of our third edition was clear: what interested us about failure was that it is a very intimate moment that everyone knows about, but hardly anyone likes to talk about. In eight formats, we artistically illuminated the taboo topic from all sides. Our audience saw musical theater with a boxing match, could confess via smartphone and sit between abysmal climbing walls at the orchestra. They felt the social distance of a Beethoven installation in a parking garage, saw the dance of a migration biography and debated in an electro club. They found our song duos in around 100 mini-concerts all over the city. Three prominent losers and a failed instrument ended the festival with a Fuck <\/span>Up<\/span> Night<\/span> as livestream.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDownload the FESTIVAL 2020 guide<\/a><\/strong>

\nHIDALGO IV<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nR*Evolution<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nIn our fourth edition, we called for R*Evolution\u2014and fought more politically than ever against sexualized violence and human-made climate change with song, music and all the arts. For the first time, we moved into a permanent festival center in the former “Sugar Mountain” concrete plant for a few days. Our festival orchestra played a wild 14th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich as an indictment of the destruction of our planet and its resources\u2014with contributions from a “Fridays for Future” activist and an environmental expert. In the musical theater RAPE & CULTURE, we used dance, sound design and the voices of those affected to make our contribution against the abuse of power in the classical music scene. “The Hidalgo Festival lives up to its high standards”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung.<\/p>\n

In September and October 2022, we invited people to “Come into the workshop of seasoned sounds”. “We polish the triads and flex the coloratura. We screw light and sound art onto it, add sports and politics and courage and anger and look at the piece in black light.” We presented the interdisciplinary formats in urban locations such as the Boxwerk, the techno club “Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel” and the Utopia, but also as a bridge to the high culture scene in the transformer hall of the Gasteig HP8. “What an enrichment of the classical concert experience”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung. “An intense experience”, said Deutschlandfunk, our audience was “unusually diverse” and “unusually young”.<\/p>\n

Before this first pilot event, we had spent weeks working on models, experimenting with black light and spraying more than 300 square meters of iron grating in an old factory building with lots of helpers. Over several nights, we hung the huge spatial sculpture in the pop-up hotel Lovelace in Munich’s old town. The result was a room full of darkness, fluorescent shapes and will-o’-the-wisps. <\/span>More than 300 people wanted to experience this, they lined up far out into the street.

Two years of intensive preparation culminated in our first festival week. We played around with contradictions in five events: <\/span>old<\/span> and young, classicism and modernity, mainstream and niche. The first edition was designed as a journey through the cosmos of song. We began in the baroque Residenzsaal, which we transformed into a classical music club with lots of bass, then moved on to a salon evening in the <\/span>barbershop <\/span>and let poetry slammers clash with controversial songs with old-school images<\/span>of<\/span>women<\/span>in the alternative-urban epicenter of Munich, the Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel.

Our festival orchestra played a wild 14th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich as an indictment of the destruction of our planet and its resources\u2014with contributions from a “Fridays for Future” activist and an environmental expert. In the musical theater RAPE & CULTURE, we used dance, sound design and the voices of those affected to make our contribution against the abuse of power in the classical music scene. “The Hidalgo Festival lives up to its high standards”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung.<\/p>\n

“The HIDALGO is on the loose”, reported Bayerischer Rundfunk in September 2018. Two years of intensive preparation culminated in our first festival week. We played around with contradictions in five events: <\/span>old<\/span> and young, classicism and modernity, mainstream and niche. The first edition was designed as a journey through the cosmos of song. We began in the baroque Residenzsaal, which we transformed into a classical music club with lots of bass, then moved on to a salon evening in the <\/span>barbershop <\/span>and let poetry slammers clash with controversial songs with old-school images<\/span>of<\/span>women<\/span>in the alternative-urban epicenter of Munich, the Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel. We deconstructed Schubert with a cryptic performance and celebrated the finale with baritone, soprano and grand piano in the Minimal Club. The adventure had begun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO II<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nIntoxication<\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\n
Music generates <\/span>endorphins<\/span>. In short: music gets you high\u2014and that rush connected all our works in 2019. We celebrated the Dionysian: the desire to lose oneself, to dissolve boundaries and to escape from everyday life. We distributed the drug “Song” at street concerts and among the antlers of the hunting and fishing museum. There we enriched the song material with electric guitar, synthesizer, video art and lots of silence to create a trance party. In the Gasteig, we combined modern poetry, new compositions and a video production for the <\/span>extremely elaborate<\/span> total work of art. The art song was available in all forms\u2014and for the first time also instrumental music <\/span>to <\/span>the newly <\/span>founded <\/span>HIDALGO festival orchestra, which led a raucous “wild parade” on the old slaughterhouse grounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO III<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nFailure<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, the motto of our third edition was clear: what interested us about failure was that it is a very intimate moment that everyone knows about, but hardly anyone likes to talk about. In eight formats, we artistically illuminated the taboo topic from all sides. Our audience saw musical theater with a boxing match, could confess via smartphone and sit between abysmal climbing walls at the orchestra. They felt the social distance of a Beethoven installation in a parking garage, saw the dance of a migration biography and debated in an electro club. They found our song duos in around 100 mini-concerts all over the city. Three prominent losers and a failed instrument ended the festival with a Fuck <\/span>Up<\/span> Night<\/span> as livestream.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO IV<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nR*Evolution<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
In our fourth edition, we called for R*Evolution\u2014and fought more politically than ever against sexualized violence and human-made climate change with song, music and all the arts. For the first time, we moved into a permanent festival center in the former “Sugar Mountain” concrete plant for a few days. Our festival orchestra played a wild 14th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich as an indictment of the destruction of our planet and its resources\u2014with contributions from a “Fridays for Future” activist and an environmental expert. In the musical theater RAPE & CULTURE, we used dance, sound design and the voices of those affected to make our contribution against the abuse of power in the classical music scene. “The Hidalgo Festival lives up to its high standards”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung.<\/p>\n

\nHIDALGO V<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nClassical Music Upcycled<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
Don’t be afraid of breaking taboos or traditions! In September and October 2022, we invited people to “Come into the workshop of seasoned sounds”. “We polish the triads and flex the coloratura. We screw light and sound art onto it, add sports and politics and courage and anger and look at the piece in black light.” We presented the interdisciplinary formats in urban locations such as the Boxwerk, the techno club “Bahnw\u00e4rter Thiel” and the Utopia, but also as a bridge to the high culture scene in the transformer hall of the Gasteig HP8. “What an enrichment of the classical concert experience”, wrote the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung. “An intense experience”, said Deutschlandfunk, our audience was “unusually diverse” and “unusually young”.<\/p>\n
