A One Minute Symphony entitled Jellosphere was written especially for the Close to Classics concerts at Studio Amare . Inspiration for this came from a conversation between composition student Robin Fiedler and conductor Chloe Rooke. You can hear how that encounter turned into notes on Jan. 24 and 25 at Amare.

According to Fiedler, the One Minute Symphoy will be "an extraordinary experience, a journey that takes you through time and space, in which the boundaries between music, nature and emotion blur. The performance is a mix of different colors, sounds and visual elements that together create a unique atmosphere. It's an experience that embraces both the nostalgia of classical music and innovation for a younger audience."

Nature
At this One Minute Symphony, Fiedler says you'll hear voices and the gentle hum of musicians merging into a harmonious, almost hypnotic atmosphere. "The atmosphere becomes enchanting and immersive. Lights that illuminate the room in a special way, improvisation that makes the performance organic and alive, and the sounds of nature that form a soothing background. Think of the subtle sounds of the sea, the lapping of waves and the soft crackling of shells - sounds that transport you to a world beneath the surface."

Active role for audience
"The audience plays an active role in the experience, their participation deepening and enriching the performance. The oceanic atmosphere is enhanced by the sound of jellyfish moving gracefully, the singing of the sea and the rhythmic sound of nature. It is a work of art in which the boundaries between artist and spectator blur, and everyone comes together in a shared experience of sound and feeling."
