Have you always wanted to know how composing works, what sound designers do or what goes on backstage? Then you've come to the right place! With us, you get a direct and «right in the middle» insight into musical rehearsals, composition and working methods. Young people immerse themselves in the world of new music together, gather impressions, talk to composers, musicians and sound performers and experience them live on stage. For selected productions, we offer formats such as backstage talks, rehearsal visits or workshops at school. «Mittendrin» is moderated by musician Bettina Berger, also in English or French on request.
