Welcome in - A music parcours

festival

We invite you to an enjoyable and surprising exploration path through the interior and exterior spaces of the Akademie der Künste - filled with unheard-of music and sound.

Small intimate concert situations in meeting rooms, silence in the concert hall, playful kinetic sound machines, improvisations, musicians on the forecourt, Serbian singing, crackling chickpeas, lots of violins, picnics in the beech garden, a tête-à-tête with a composer, breath: the whole building hides musical gems in niches and large halls, musicians cross paths again and again.

Everything flows, everything happens twice, everything can be put together yourself. Everyone is welcome to share this place and the music with us on a long day in May.
