The ‘Campus’ youth exchange project is also celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021 and invites young people from all over the world to the Rhine to work out a challenging programme together with the musicians of the Federal Youth Orchestra of Germany. Three orchestral groups play Karlheinz Stockhausen’s monumental spatial composition ‘Gruppen’. Deeply impressed György Kurtág described this work as a benchmark composition for the entire music of the 20th century.
Kurtág reacted to this with his own spatial composition: ‘...quasi una fantasia...’, an orchestral piece that refers to Beethoven’s Opus 27. Together with Beethoven's original and a new creation by the Turkish composer Zeynep Gedizlioğlu the Campus Project Orchestra forms an impressive musical experience from the complex scores.
