MaerzMusik is a music festival that combines the diverse currents within contemporary music into a panorama rich in contrasts with renowned artists from all over the world.
In concerts, performances and sound installations, MaerzMusik presents a diverse selection of works, especially by younger musical artists from all over the world. Workshops, exhibitions, film screenings and discussion series complete the festival program.
MaerzMusik 2025 will once again take place under the direction of Kamila Metwaly. This year's festival will kick off with the experimental music theater show "Melencolia" by Brigitta Muntendorf and Moritz Lobeck at Haus der Berliner Festspiele. Over the following nine festival days, MaerzMusik will present interdisciplinary projects that question traditional dualisms and present new, networked perspectives. Ensemble Nikel makes its debut at Radialsystem with "Minor Characters" and the German premiere of "limina" with a dance solo by Ligia Lewis. Nguyễn + Transitory combine Southeast Asian dance forms with experimental electronics. The New York percussion and piano quartet Yarn/Wire performs four new works by Sarah Davachi, Jad Atoui, Clara Iannotta and Catherine Lamb.
