Ultraschall 2023

Festival

Ultraschall Berlin once again offers a platform for artistic ideas of very different kinds and provenances. Without any content-related guidelines – quite deliberately, Ultraschall Berlin has no ‘theme’, but at most ‘red threads’ and accents that arise from the programmes themselves.

It is precisely the diversity of artistic ideas and strategies that characterises contemporary music. Ultraschall Berlin offers an enabling space, a platform for all of this. Whether nature or the city serve as a source of inspiration for musical works, whether composers refer to literature or to music history itself, from which they draw something new with inner-musical references or formal experiments, whether they deal with their own medical history or take the risk of ‘composing with four hands’ – all this can be experienced at Ultraschall Berlin 2023.
