NEW MUSIC
HörBlick
Concert series New Music
The “HörBlick” is a new concert series for contemporary music in Lauenburg on the Elbe. A town where HISTORICAL and MODERN live together. The city tells its auditory story, just as every place/space speaks and colors a sound event. Water, wind, even the ships sailing on the Elbe were and are also sound generators that acoustically shape their surroundings, like a sonic home to the residents.
In this place, starting in November 2019, current and impulsive music of our time will be presented as part of a new concert series.
