“All aboard!” – Paul and his friend Lily set sail. They discover a sunken island, a ship among the stars, a city on the sea, and a golden fish which reveals to them the secrets of the deep. Boris Friedewald’s story Paul’s Journey to the Fish is inspired by the colourful marine paintings of Paul Klee – as is Sándor Veress’s sonorous Hommage à Paul Klee. Rufus Beck’s reading, Klee’s paintings, and music by Veress combine to form a magical meeting of storytelling, art, and music. Immerse yourself in this fascinating world of fiction, colour, and sound!

School concert “Hommage à Paul Klee”

Berliner Philharmoniker

Gentle drizzling, vigorous splashing, thunderous drumming – rain comes in many guises. Hanns Eisler’s 1941 film score Fourteen Ways to Describe Rain was one of his best chamber music works. Today, in the face of accelerating climate change, weather patterns take on a whole new urgency. Inspired by Eisler, Gregor Mayrhofer explores these phenomena in his composition Tipping Points. Fourteen ways to describe climate change, a commissioned work which will be premiered as part of our Biennale, explores pivotal moments for our climate. The physicist and science journalist Harald Lesch will host this dialogue concert.
