Who would have thought that Bach influenced modern music? The art of the Baroque fugue and its logical construction inspired especially Bauhaus Masters such as Lyonel Feininger.

Der Talk beleuchtet die Bedeutung der klassischen Musik, etwa der Barock-Fuge, und ihren Einfluss auf Plastiken und Zeichnungen der Bauhäusler*innen.

The Bauhaus artists were opera fans – they loved everything from the music to the stage designs! Michal Friedländer and Karl-Heinz Steffens of the Neuer Musikverein Berlin present for us an opera adaptation for piano and clarinet of pieces from ‘The Tales of Hoffmann’ and ‘Madame Butterfly’.

The Bauhaus was not just avant-garde in its design or its architecture or its way of running a school – in music, too, the Bauhaus leaned towards the radical break with tradition.

Was Jazz, Improvisation und Bauhaus gemeinsam haben, wird in diesem Talk diskutiert und mit zeitgenössischen Fotos visuell begleitet.

Im letzten Talk des Abends stellen wir die Frage nach der Moderne in der Musik, nach Experiment, Improvisation und der Suche nach Harmonie.
