BERLIN, March 30th 2025, MaerzMusik: I AM ALL EARS
The festival’s final programme, co-curated by Wojtek Blecharz, explores listening as a relational practice and questions traditional forms of musical performance. Following one of Éliane Radigue’s guiding principles – “you can be in the smallest corner and hear the totality of what is going on” – the finale decentralises the stages of the Haus der Berliner Festspiele and invites the audience into its open spaces and, at the same time, into the microcosms of sound.
Works by Sam Dunscombe / Corie Rose Soumah (Limpitidités I for solo doublebass) / Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh / Yiran Zhao / Pauline Oliveros / Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop / Tom Johnson / Wojtek Blecharz
