Events

Children and teenagers will present the music and choreography they have created themselves during the holiday workshop «Spooky Beats, Dancing Storms». Together with workshop leaders Marie Jeger and Tomek Kolczynski, the young participants learnt how to create rhythms on a computer and develop accompanying dance moves using their bodies.

Students on the Master’s programme «Music and Scene in Transformation» at the Basel Academy of Music are presenting their final projects as part of a mini-festival. The concerts will take place over several days in various formats and with different ensembles. In this performance, Emilė Ribokaitė presents her final project.

«Schweben» brings together two works of musical theatre that explore the themes of ascent and descent. The VR opera «Ascension» seeks a balance between reason and emotion, whilst Thorbjörn Björnsson, together with musicians from the Basel scene, presents a new work about sinking and falling.

In «Strings Attached», a puppet-like network of floating arches and instruments forms a living organism in which one movement triggers the next. Balancing control and surrender, it reveals the pull of gravity and redefines chamber music as a system of symbiosis, tension and power shifts.

At the intersection of music, performance and technology, two artistic approaches converge: whilst Léo Collin explores the boundaries of hearing and perception in «Migräne», Francesca Sproccati creates a poetic space between sleep, memory and collective resistance in «Venir meno».
