Play it Again

Bravo. Well Done.

Often the best parts of the concert are the encores. So why not start right away with them? In fact – what if every piece was an encore?

Play it Again, IGUDESMAN & JOO’s third duo show, (after A Little Nightmare Music and AND NOW MOZART), is a topsy‐turvy, upside‐down, insideout show, taking audience’s wishes for them to “play it again” and giving them far more than they wished for!
Although no two performances of IGUDESMAN & JOO’s are ever really the same, Play it Again explicitly promises that each night will be so wildly different from one another that audiences will have to come back again. Every piece on the night will be spontaneously decided before, and there will be occasions for fans to send in their requests for specific performances giving them the opportunity to actively engage in the direction the show will take on that particular night. Furthermore, having toured the world for over a decade, and doing their best to perform in the local language, Play it Again will be presented in IGUDESMAN & JOO’s new linguistic form, a sort of global, multi‐cultured Esperanto‐ish language which everyone will be able to understand all over the world: Joodesmanish!
Once IGUDESMAN & JOO Play It Again you will want to “Hear It Again”!



What others say

“The fun­ni­est show on music and the life of musi­cians I have seen since the great Vic­tor Borge. I couldnt stop cry­ing of laugh­ter for the whole evening. Go see these gifted musi­cians. What they show is life at its fun­ni­est side. It isn’t just enter­tain­ing, it is hilar­i­ous! “

Since our first encounter with I&J in 2011, we (the musicians & staff of the Taiwan Philharmonic) had been longing for being part of the birth of the  “Scary Concert”.  From the perfect preparation of the music scores to the super efficient rehearsals, I&J not only inspired our musicians to be more creative in performances but also bounded them with our audience even tighter.  Right after the concerts, we received many inquires about when I&J will be back for another new project …. yes, from both orchestra musicians and audience.  The  Scary Concert is the healing concert for both audience and musicians in this stiflingly busy city life.
