"If
the evening carried one message, it was that classical musicians no
longer allow themselves to be labeled. [...] where the counterculture
continues to hold its own against the bourgeoisie, the ground may be
more than fertile for new seeds to be sewn around the ivory tower of
the avant-garde." NPR
Review (WNYC), 3011.2011
"The
music of the future is
arising in the space between Philharmonic Hall and the Berghain Club:
Berlin's C3 Festival shows the ways in which pop avant-garde and
classical music are approaching one another...it's the music of the
future. It hasn't even yet been named. But the fact that it will one
day be in a position to explain the present to us, of that there is no
doubt." Tagesspiegel,

"Klassik trifft Pop: Der Laptop spielt die erste Geige"
"The
first edition of the C3 Festival positioned itself skillfully as an
alternative to the willfully progressive Club Transmediale, enriching
Berlin's concert scene with an additional exciting facet. Intelligently
selected international and local artists active in the gray zone
between classical, contemporary and club music offered up entertaining
as well as surprising and seldom-heard work." Comment
