OS Dorfmusik (DEU)The ‘OS’ in OS Dorfmusik stands for Ossendorf, now a suburb of Hamburg. OS Dorfmusik (‚village music‘) came together for an annual workshop, a special project in which new German (folk) dances are developed. The musicians aim to revive old melodies – without neglecting the dance aspect – and dancers create new works based on steps found in old dancing masters (‘manuals’). At Rudolstadt the ensemble is going to present a ‘best’ selection from the past dozen years.
