«AtemNoten» is a music therapy session of a special kind: the virtuoso musician Viviane Chassot plays. Her instrument breathes and puffs. Music therapist Jürg Kienberger listens. They improvise, dance, are out of breath - far away from notes and far away from the breathlessness of the world.

Every Sunday from 9:30-14:00, the Bar du Nord invites you to a cosy family breakfast and to linger with the whole family. The child-friendly buffet offers all kinds of ingredients to prepare yourself. There is also plenty of space for children to play, a pool table, table football and lots of toys.

With «Schattenfarbe», the Mondrian Ensemble presents a programme that is intense in its energy but nuanced and structured in its spatiality and musicality. Wolfram Schurig is composing a piano quartet for this evening that dispenses with any extra-musical reference: autonomous music in the radical sense.

On the occasion of the annual theme of the Institute of Architecture FHNW «Feed the City», the «Ein Haus...» lectures also deal with architectural strategies for a sustainable food system. The two projects presented show in different ways what buildings for food production in the city can look like and what logistical challenges have to be overcome.

As this year's ensemble of the season, the Concept Store Quartet will talk about surplus in the context of consumption, information and connection and aims to offer the audience time and space to reflect on how the surplus we encounter every day can be transformed into a positive and collective force.

The programme «Abenteuer» owes its existence to Ligeti's famous «Aventures». This celebration of musical-linguistic ventures is counterpointed by Othmar Schoeck's «Gaselen». The concert opens with chamber music of the heroic-adventurous kind: Johann Nepomuk Hummel is not the man of the moment in the 19th century for nothing.

The percussion quartet led by Fritz Hauser performs a new version of John Cage's legendary composition «Third Construction». As the title of the evening – «Slow Cage» – suggests, the percussionists play the piece at a very slow tempo. This creates a completely new perception of sound. This will be accompanied by four world premieres by the participating musicians.
