For the last 25 years Klangwerkstatt Berlin has been presenting current music beyond the confining genres and generations labels, with experimental and lively performances. What began in 1989 at the Music School in Kreuzberg simply as an idea to bring children and youth ensembles to perform on the same level together with established musicians, has become Berlin’s oldest and continuous festival for new music. Klangwerkstatt Berlin is celebrating their anniversary with an outstanding multifaceted program: alongside numerous sound installations, musical theater pieces and high quality concert ensembles, composeurs and former director Peter Ablinger, Orm Finnendahl and Michael Beil will take a look back at the festival’s history. A special highlight will be the electro acoustic performance omöohhhno pahtuuontudonthose by Mouse on Mars member, Jan St. Werner, and team.
