[ETA: English Translation of Rain’s Program Entry] Word on the street: The “Classic Meets Pop” trend continues.
[*ETA: English translation…
Hello Lovely Clouds,
Thought you might like this additional tidbit I found while I was roaming around on the Dresden Musical Festival website. Below is a screenshot of the actual event program entry for Rain and Vogler’s performance. (Does the picture look familiar? (Hint: Lotte event…Shanghai…) Below THAT is my actual English translation for the program entry.
English Translation of program entry: Terri @CloudUSA :-}
“In this concert, Asia meets Europe: Rain and Jan Vogler blow up the boundaries between popular and classical music. When they appear together, they send their musical message to young people on two continents. The performances of the Korean singer, Rain, deemed the Asian Michael Jackson, are already cult. By the way, this not even 30-year-old Musician and Dancer from Seoul is also a Designer, Producer, and an Action Film Star. Rain moves between rhythm and blues and hip hop; Jan Vogler between Bach, Dvorˇák, and Jimi Hendrix. That apparent opposites attract proves that their joint appearance in the Semperoper will be interesting.”
The download page for the festival’s full program is here: 2011 Dresden Music Festival Program. Rain’s entry is on page 12.
Enjoy,

*PLEASE NOTE: There is no formal word from J.Tune concerning this matter yet. However… we thought it important for European Rain fans to have a heads up and be prepared, just in case. Word on the street is that JiHoon and Jan will be making a splash in Germany at around 9PM this upcoming May 19th. Do make a note of it.
Thanks, Terri, for finding the English version of Mr. Vogler’s interview. (You’re welcome. :-})

Jan Vogler [Cello]Asian Pop meets European Classics
This concert is part of the »U 30 Subscription«.
With friendly support from MCMIn this concert, Asia and Europe meet: Rain and Jan Vogler do not only eliminate the borders between pop and classical music. When they perform together, their music addresses young people on both continents. The Korean singer Rain is considered the »Asian Michael Jackson«; his performances have already acquired cult status. »On the side,« the musician and dancer from Seoul, who has not even celebrated his 30th birthday yet, is also a designer, producer and film star. Rain moves as effortlessly between pop, rhythm and blues and hip hop as Jan Vogler moves between Bach, Dvořák and Jimi Hendrix. The fact that opposites attract will be proven by their joint performance at the Semperoper – an event to look forward to!

Cellist Vogler speaks on the festival and about Rain here, in English. Thanks again, Terri. 🙂

I know this is something that Clouds in Europe would love to hear. What a nice collaboration of musically talented people to gather in that event and what would even be more interesting would be Rain’s participation as Korea’s representative. Way to go Rain. I hope this will push through as this will be an honor for Korea to be represented by Rain in this international event.
