Classical music doesn't have to be serious, and it's all right to laugh in the concert hall...
Aleksey Igudesman and Richard Hyung-ki Joo, two talented classical musicians from Vienna Musikverein demonstrate this through their show, "A Little Nightmare Music." Igudesman & Joo, a violinist and pianist respectively, combine classical music talent with a warped sense of humor. Their show is about their love of music while making fun of the seriousness during concerts. Check out their video clip:
While much of the humor in Igudesman & Joo’s repertoire is about classical music, it's readily understandable even to those not familiar with Bach, Beethoven, or any of those famous composers.
From their website: "A Little Nightmare Music" is a unique show, full of virtuosity, enchanting music and zany, outrageous humour. Ideal for audiences aged 8 to 88, this show is sure to captivate you and crack you up whether you’re a classical music enthusiast or the type who runs for cover, at the mere mention of Mozart.
The show looks hilarious! Seeing their video makes me want to ask: When are these guys going on tour, and will New York City be on the tour schedule?
