Maerzmusik 2009
It’s time for music again: as every year, March is completely built around “Maerzmusik” - the international festival for new music.
It represents a part of the Berlin Festival and takes place in a central location, more specifically, in the house of Berlin Festival since 2002. However, this is by far not the place the programme is going to take place in.
The slogan for 2009 is “reduction-composition-deconstruction“.
What this means is that you can see the line-up of artists on the homepage of “Maerzmusik 2009”. The classic music festival contrasts artists from Russia to artists from America. You can also enjoy music from Armenia and Central Africa. Ambitious pupils also perform in the programme “Querklang” as young composers.
This year the eighth version of “Maerzmusik“ perform yet again because as well as the pupil’s composition there will also young American, Armenian, Asian and Russian artists.
The festival will take place from 20th to 29th of March 2009 and a visit would definitely be worth your while.
We strongly suggest you to book your Unterkunft Berlin as soon as possible, such as a Hotel or a Ferienwohnung in Berlin, so you can enjoy your stay as soon as you get there.
“Maerzmusik“ is said to be one of the most important festivals for new music in Germany. With more than 30 events you can look at key works from newer music’s history, as well as completely unknown plays and experienced performers of coeval music from all over the world.
This is a place to look forward to: the “Maerzmusik“ is a festival to listen to new music, as well as classics of the new music. You can watch first-time performances as well as see artist débuts, room orchestration and round tables for young or even young-thinking composers.
This is the best event for those who feel connected with modern music and who are open to new things.
As part of the opening, Les Percussions de Strasbourg will play their quadrinominal circle “Erewhon” from Hugues Dufourt with six drummers and 150 instruments. The second part of the festival includes mainly concerts with American music. So everybody will find something they like…
The easiest way to get tickets is through the “Maerzmusik 2009’s homepage, but you can buy them at the cash point in the house of Berlin Festival as well. Both options include discounts for a big group of people (pupils, students, OAPs, etc.…). Apart from this, there are 4 different price ranges that reach from 6€ up to 20€.
