Stuttgart Airport: First 1:1 concerts in an airport terminal

Stuttgart Airport will be the venue for the world’s first 1:1 concerts at an airport on 8 and 10 May. In this
unique setting, a musician performs a personal concert for a single listener, the two of them being completely
alone in the room. The unusual format is inspired by artist Marina Abramoviฤ‡โ€™s performance “The Artist Is Pre
sent” and aims to enable a personal musical experience, despite the restrictions on cultural life caused by the
corona pandemic, at a safe distance.

Stuttgart Airport is providing its terminal 1 for the project initiated by the Stuttgart State Opera and the SWR
Symphony Orchestra. The airport supports the artistsโ€™ extraordinary commitment. All musicians perform with
out remuneration, donations by the audience are used to support freelance musicians.

During this pandemic, a lot of things are only possible on a digital basis, but many people miss real personal
contact and analogue musical experiences. 1:1 concerts enable a real concert experience and take all necessary protective measures into account. In the individual 1:1 concerts, each lasting 10 minutes, one listener and
one musician come together – musical intimacy at a safe distance.

Spots for the experience are limited and can be booked online on the State Operaโ€™s website. For a chance to
win one of ten tickets provided by the airport, the Stuttgart State Opera, and the SWR Symphony Orchestra,
visit the airportโ€™s social media accounts starting Wednesday.
