Welcome in – A musical path in the Hansaviertel district
We invite you to an enjoyable and surprising path of exploration through the interior and exterior spaces of the Akademie der Künste – filled with unheard music and sound.
Small, intimate concert situations in meeting rooms, silence in the concert hall, playful kinetic sound machines, improvisations, musicians on the roof, a Serbian singer, cracking chickpeas, lots of violins, picnics in the Beech Garden, a tête-à-tête with a composer, breath: the whole building conceals musical gems in niches and large halls, with musicians appearing again and again, crossing paths.
Everything flows, everything happens twice and you put it all together yourself. A warm welcome to everyone to share the place and the music on a long day in May.
