Sound Architecture: Space. Line. Light. Architecture Becomes Music—Music Is Architecture
Johannes Hustedt, flute & Christian-Markus Raiser, piano, organ

With their program, the duo aims to make architecture audible: Just as Friedrich Weinbrenner composed spaces using stone, columns, and proportions, the two artists seek to develop spaces of sound: lines become melodies; perspectives, proportions, and symmetries become music; light becomes sound.

3,000 Years of Sound – Guqin & Piano in Dialogue

With their program, the duo blends 3,000 years of tradition with contemporary music and sound collages to create a unique form of world music.

“THE ART OF DUO”
Peter Lehel, saxophone, tárogató  & Ull Möck, piano

These two artists, who are well-established in Karlsruhe, manage to create—in an unobtrusive way—a special atmosphere of serenity and harmonious sound, without drifting into kitsch or triviality. In this light show, the duo explores the sonic universe of Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek through their legendary recordings for ECM.
