You will hear piano pieces by Ferrucio Busoni, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Paul Arma, Unsuk Chin, Johann Sebastian Bach and others.

Piano music could also be heard during the 1923 Bauhaus Week, including works by the composer Ferruccio Busoni, who travelled there in person with his students. The pianist Egon Petri played Busoni’s Toccata: Preludio – Fantasia – Ciaccona, BV 287, his Perpetuum mobile, BV 293 and the first three of his Five Pieces to Cultivate Polyphonic Playing, BV 296 as well as his Prélude et étude en arpèges, BV 297. The piano recital with Matan Porat sets out from this starting point and combines a few of these works with other piano music connected with the Bauhaus – for example music by Paul Arma or Ruth Crawford Seeger who, after visiting Dessau, wrote enthusiastically about the school as a place of freedom.

A concert ticket costs 15 € plus fees. Please order your ticket here.

The bauhaus music weekend is directed by Michal Friedländer, Karl-Heinz Steffens and Kai Hinrich Müller in cooperation with the Neuer Musikverein Berlin.

The concert takes place at the Meistersaal at Potsdamer Platz, Köthener Straße 38, 10963 Berlin.
