Mittendrin 23/24
Have you always wanted to know how composing works, what sound designers do or what goes on backstage? Then you've come to the right place! With us, you get a direct and «right in the middle» insight into musical rehearsals, composition and working methods. Young people immerse themselves in the world of new music together, gather impressions, talk to composers, musicians and sound performers and experience them live on stage. For selected productions, we offer formats such as backstage talks, rehearsal visits or workshops at school. «Mittendrin» is moderated by musician Bettina Berger, also in English or French on request.

Weit – #lonely #mentalhealth #powerofmusic
Loneliness - like a shadow, a feeling of emptiness creeps into our lives. But is loneliness exclusively destructive? Can there not also be an unknown power hidden in the midst of loneliness? Verba Vocalis explores the theme of loneliness in «Weit» with music from almost 400 years of music history.
Mensch, du hast Recht! – #humanrights #whatisjustice #newrevolution
Who actually knows all 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ? Who believes in their power and effect even today? Who hears them ? What do they sound like ? Together with director Ursina Greuel, the Matterhorn Productions group seeks an answer to these and other questions in the form of a musical approach to the utopia of human rights. Music: Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Schubert, Esther Roth, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Charlie Haden, Anna Trauffer
PLATZEN PLATZEN PLATZEN – #explosion #toomuch #enoughisenough
Man, at some point you really get fed up with all the crises that reach us every day. What can be done to counteract this overstimulation? When is it enough? How much can I control? These and other existential questions are explored in the musical experiment by Ensemble Proton Bern together with composer Andreas Eduardo Frank. Music: Andreas Eduardo Frank
Der Himmel brennt – #womeninwar #makelovenotwar #borschtsch
The evening should have been a song recital about love, with Russian and Ukrainian romances. Then the war came and everything was different. Nevertheless, a song evening about the power of music, the smell of borscht, the role of women in times of war and also about love was created. The collective barbare and guests ponder on this in this poetic evening. Music: Anna Trauffer, Sofia Gubaidulina, Dimitri Shostakovich, Isaak Dunayevsky, Ukrainian folk songs
