BUILDING BRIDGES

Building Bridges , founded by Korneel Le Compte and Haruko Tanabe, is a non-profit organisation that endeavours to bring classical and other styles of music nearer to audiences of all kinds. Contrary to most classical concerts where there is little or no communication between players and listeners, we try to bring music, performer and listener closer together thereby creating a deeper communication and a more elevating experience for everybody involved. From concerts in "appropriate" settings to street performances or playing for the disabled, we always strive towards artistic excellence in everything we do, but we are only really satisfied when we succeed in sending the audience home with the feeling they have experienced something warm and beautiful.
