Jo Pistorius, Curatorial Assistant, guides you through the current exhibitions Gianna Surangkanjanajai. Open and Rey Akdogan. Carousels. Participation is included in the exhibition ticket.

Slide projectors rotate in the dark exhibition space, images glow on the walls. As part of Family Sunday, we explore the exhibition Rey Akdogan. Carousels together and discuss how the artist creates fascinating compositions from foil and plastic scraps. We experiment with light colours, shadows and our own projections. What happens when you mix blue and red light? Which material casts which shadow? In the studio**, you will use colourful packaging and foil to create your own images, which we will then illuminate.

Do you have colourful, transparent plastic waste at home? Perhaps some pretty sweet wrappers, a shopping bag or a broken umbrella? Feel free to bring materials with you to experiment with and use to create your works of art.

Max. 20 people. Ages 4 and up, accompanied by parents.

*Free ticket for children under 18. The ticket includes admission to the exhibition.
Booking information: A maximum of 2 tickets for adults and 4 tickets for children can be booked per transaction. For larger groups, we kindly ask you to make multiple bookings.

Aisling Marnane – Viola
Germán Gabriel García – Trumpet, Flugelhorn
Joseph Summers – Bagpipes, Hurdy-Gurdy, String Instruments, Pipes

For a new edition of the series Kantione, organized by Eleni Poulou, the Haus am Waldsee invites the μ Ensemble for an evening concert in the studio*. The μ Ensemble works with subtle, intense microtonal drone sounds produced by analog instruments such as hurdy-gurdies, home-made bagpipes, violas, and wind instruments, as well as electronic sine waves. With the resulting dense acoustic textures, the ensemble explores medieval polyphony, weaving elements of Pérotin’s Organum compositions and the antiphonal chants of Hildegard von Bingen into a fluctuating, shimmering, wavering cloud of texture and tone designed to melt into the atmosphere and surround the audience like heavy air.

Duration: 60 minutes (without intermission)

Giannis Arapis – Guitar
Kristia Michael – Voice
Alex Mastichiadis – Clavichord

The first part of this two-part concert evening features Giannis Arapis on guitar with interpretations of works by Luis de Milán, a Spanish Renaissance composer whose compositions for the vihuela (a guitar-like lute) transfer the complex polyphonic density of vocal music into an increasingly autonomous instrumental language.

The second part of the evening is dedicated to Among Echoes, a project that explores the intimacy of the human voice and combines it with atmospheric electronic sounds and the delicate, dynamic tones of the clavichord. Unlike the harpsichord, the strings of this historical keyboard instrument, originally designed for private chamber music, are not plucked but struck by tangents, creating a direct, sensitive response that allows nuanced modulation of volume and timbre. Among Echoes translates these expressive possibilities of the clavichord and the human voice into contemporary, experimental explorations of new music.

Duration: 120 min (with intermission)

Venue: Studio*

Biliana Voutchkova – Violin, Voice

A collage programme consisting of selected slow movements from the Telemann solo violin Fantasien and original New Ghost Phantasies by Voutchkova. 

The original New Fantasies for two violins were composed by Biliana Voutchkova and Clara Levy, commissioned and premiered at DARA String Festival 2024. They are based on and inspired by Georg Philipp Telemann’s Fantasien for solo violin, containing partly composed, partly improvised music that develops from a selection of slow movements from the original phantasies.

The process of creating this work went through a research phase of mutual and personal observation, understanding, and defining the violinists’ common classical music background. It traced their early classical music training, the changes and developments over the years that have led to their current artistic identities. The New Fantasies emerged through their personal connection to Telemann’s phantasies, which each had been playing for over 20 years.

For this concert, Biliana Voutchkova developed a new version of the work, New Ghost Phantasies for solo violin and fixed media. She revisits and transforms the material of New Fantasies, translating the shared dialogue into a solo constellation with ghostly pre-recorded layers and spectral presences.

Duration: 55 minutes (without intermission)

Venue: Sculpture Park, in case of rain in the Studio*
