Every concert is also a physical experience. Our NOW HERE festival places this at the centre of the experience to foster an intense sensory engagement.

To this end, the Konzerthaus and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin are collaborating with the independent collective Detect Sounds, which has been bringing together classical, electronic and experimental music scenes on the outskirts of Berlin at the Detect Classic Festival since 2018. 

Igor Stravinsky’s polyrhythms in *Le sacre du printemps* are felt differently in the body when standing than when seated in the Grand Hall – and then transition into an improvised live electronic set. 

Featuring performers from Berlin’s voguing scene, a recital offers a physical exploration of sexuality and sensuality, before Latin American-inspired melodies encourage the audience to sing along. 

Artists with and without disabilities from Theater Thikwa will perform a fairy-tale play that engages the whole body.

Together with IÇ IÇE, the platform for new Anatolian music and post-migrant perspectives, we are curating a festival day that creates further space for exchange, empowerment and music from Berlin in the here and now.
