A concert, a festival or a club night are also experiences that are designed to engage the audience in different ways, to make them participate and to surprise them.

This is the job of the curators Chris Sharp, musical programmer at the Barbican, Natalia Fuchs, organizer of Gamma Festival in Saint Petersbourg, or Juha van ‘t Zelfde, organizer of Amsterdam’s political rave Progress Bar.

All of them combine music with visual experiences, film projections, installations, workshops or talks; exposing the audience to new formats, and new ways to experience music.
