Not only classical but also popular music and jazz played a role in the musical culture surrounding the Bauhaus. This is exemplified by the Bauhaus Kapelle (ensemble). Founded around 1923, various members of the Bauhaus belonged to it. Centred around popular music, including dance music, that featured a great deal of improvisation, the group was also known beyond the confines of the school. While no recordings have been preserved, it is possible to reconstruct basic features of their music with the help of other sources. The 2023 bauhaus music weekend will conclude by providing an initial glimpse inside the ensemble’s repertoire and the jazz music of its time.

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.
