festival.M

festival.M is an experimental concert performance festival that brings together musical styles by international artists on the theme of "MINIMAL".

With experimental concert designs and installations, festival.M inspires more lively stage moments and encounters in the classical concert hall.

All artists in the line-up sought points of contact with their audience in advance: since May 2025, they have been developing individual storytelling for concert performances in the form of a parallel community program with non-professionals and involving them creatively and participatively in the generation of content. The vision: a collaborative festival that artistically and dramaturgically sensitizes people to the "minimal" and enables a mindset that does not need "A LOT", but gets by with few means: Sound, noise, presence and encounter.
