Vocations – open space: Songs and vocal practices based on poetry

As a meeting point for Berlin’s international contemporary poetry and music scene, Vocations offers a stage for artists exploring a wide range of musical and vocal practices that are based on or deeply rooted in poetry. Vocations invites poets, musicians, and audiences alike to engage in creative exchange—whether on stage, over a drink between performances, or as a way to round off the evening.
