FRIDAY NIGHTS WITH YURY REVICH
- concerts of arts -
"Friday Nights with Yury Revich” was founded by Yury Revich (Music Director) and Mia Papaefthimiou (Art Director).
The aim of our project is the development of a new event format, combining a traditional classical music concert and an informal crossover concert, incorporating multiple media and focuses:
the "Concert of Arts"
Our grounding concept is a synergistic and dialogical collaboration between music, art, applied arts, theater, dance, and fashion, with the aim of opening-up new perspectives—listening to art and seeing music.
“Friday Nights with Yury Revich” is the flagship project of MY ARTS, a registered non-profit association for cultural support, promoting and networking young creative potential across multiple disciplines and platforms at the local and international levels.

Concept:
Recycling in music - ideas and sketches of musical themes, that were not used (10-15Mins)
Yury Revich will compose a piece, reusing music written by famous composers, that did not make it into their masterpieces but had been "discarded". This will be the highlight of the event - creating something unique and beautiful especially for the concert show. The process of breathing new life into "abandoned" musical material will demonstrate that value is a quality attached to art and objects by us people and thus will inspire the audience to redefine and redeem the value of art and everyday objects in their lives.
The rest of the program will revolve around the different forms of nature in our lives. Vocal and instrumental works will create a vision of the beautiful natural world, which is our collective responsibility and is to be preserved will all our mutual efforts. There will be vocal works and instrumental works. A special tribute to the Beethoven anniversary year and the composer's famous love for nature will be a string sextet performance of part from his Symphony Nr. 6, F-Dur, "Pastorale".
Digital artworks by Benoit Benichou will illustrate the whole venue and all performances during the show, creating an immersive experience and transporting the main message of the night - sustainability and recycling are our chances in helping this melting world.
This event takes place in cooperation with MA48, Austrian World Summit, UNICEF Austria and Bösendorfer.
2- Euro from each entry ticket will be donated to UNICEF Austria.
