Song on Earth: A spatial performance based on Das Lied von der Erde by Gustav Mahler

24 & 25 August 2024 (All of Greece one Culture)

March 2024 - November 2024

Task.

Our task involved crafting a robust production management plan and seamlessly executing the production. The project was complex, requiring detailed planning, funding, and logistics to move a chamber orchestra and a production team of 20 people to Prespa for six days and two concerts. In addition to production management, we were also involved in PR, audience engagement, set design consulting, and marketing.

Services.

We meticulously formulated a comprehensive production and project management plan, addressing all facets of the production, including orchestra management, casting, booking, travel, rehearsal planning, stage management, sound, audience engagement, and public relations.

We engaged in direct lobbying with local institutions and created detailed fundraising, partnership, and collaboration plans for sponsors and donors. In terms of communication and marketing, we handled all visuals in collaboration with the Greek National Opera, as well as PR placements, interviews, press releases, and social media. We worked with both local and national media, and institutions in North Macedonia, the Embassy of Greece in Skopje, the Embassy of Greece in Tirana, the Consulate of Greece in Monastiri, and the municipality of Prespa.
