In the page's words:

festival.M is an experimental concert performance festival that unites musical styles by international artists on the theme of "MINIMAL". With experimental concert designs, installations and accompanying workshops, .M seeks more lively stage moments and encounters in the classical concert hall.

All of the artists in the line-up were looking for 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, encounter.
On four public festival days, the artistic work of artists and communities will take the stage at TONALi SAAL (Hamburg) and Villa Elisabeth (Berlin).
