Ed Warren Busks Connectivity at C2C with ChamSys MagicQ MQ500M Stadium

It’s important that everyone in the audience feels like part of the show, says Ed Warren, especially when lighting a festival that features DJ and EDM performances. The award-winning designer was determined to achieve this level of connectivity when lighting multiple A-list acts at the C2C festival in early November, even though the venue he was working at, Lingotto Turin, wasn’t exactly conducive to creating a sense of intimacy.Read More »Ed Warren Busks Connectivity at C2C with ChamSys MagicQ MQ500M Stadium

Flow with Versengold’s Nacht der Balladen

“Through music we may wander where we will in time and find friends in every century,” wrote American Helen Thomson Woolley. Though this groundbreaking author and educator lived almost a century ago, she would have undoubtably appreciated the timeless appeal of a Versengold concert if she were around today. The chart-topping German band transcends centuries with the ease and grace of a gazelle blending traditional music with more contemporary folk songs, as well as dance and party tunes, all elevated by the artistry of lead singer Malte Hoyer.Read More »Flow with Versengold’s Nacht der Balladen
