Weekend Tips: What to Do This Weekend in Berlin

July 12 to 14, 2024: Events, concerts, exhibitions and more things to do for your perfect weekend in Berlin. more

Arnold Schönberg, Kurt Schwitters, Ruth Crawford Seeger

Moderated concert in German at Villa Elisabeth

You will hear:

Kurt Schwitters: Original Sonata (extracts)

Ruth Crawford Seeger: Music for Small Orchestra

Arnold Schönberg: Pierrot lunaire, op. 21

Arnold Schönberg, a prominent figure of New Music, also lived in American exile. His melodrama “Pierrot lunaire” was produced at the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1922. His characteristic atonal music and innovative recitatives made it a key work of musical modernism. Claudia Barainsky will perform it for the “Bauhaus Music” festival.

Kurt Schwitters also incorporated novel linguistic elements – though far more radical – in his famous “Ursonate” (Sonata in Primal Sounds). In his sound poem, created between 1923 and 1932, he reduces language to its primal sounds and blurs the boundary between music and poetry. Schwitters recited his “Ursonate” at one of his guest performances at the Bauhaus. On Saturday evening Gunnar Brandt-Sigurdsson will be reciting excerpts from the Dada poem.

The evening will conclude with Ruth Crawford Seeger’s “Music for Small Orchestra”, a work of the American avant-garde. Her study of acoustic timbres and atmosphere is one of the few works by this radically modern composer who withdrew from the public eye after some initial success and devoted herself to studying folk music. Seeger composed “Music for Small Orchestra” shortly before she visited the Bauhaus Dessau – an experience she found especially freeing. It is this sentiment that inspired the 2024 “Bauhaus Music” festival motto: freedom.

With: Gunnar Brandt-Sigurdsson, Claudia Barainsky

Direction: Karl-Heinz Steffens

Host: Kai Hinrich Müller (in German)

The motto of this year's bauhaus music festival is FREEDOM. Five concerts will take place over three days at two venues, the temporary bauhaus archive and the church/Villa St Elisabeth.
bauhaus music 2024 is made possible with the generous support of the Capital City Cultural Fund.
