Many members of the Bauhaus explored music in connection to their work, they performed together in their free time, and some were even professionally trained musicians. For example, Wassily Kandinsky described his works as compositions with rhythm and melody. Gertrud Grunow, a music teacher who taught \u201cHarmonisation Theory\u201d at the Bauhaus, was strongly influenced by Alexander Skryabin\u2019s theories on synesthesia and the connections between music and colour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-zitat'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure class='wp-block-ho-quote '>\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\u201cAlthough music wasn\u2019t an official part of the curriculum at the Bauhaus, it was omnipresent.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption>Michal Friedl\u00e4nder<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-6'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h5' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-6'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Composers regularly attended the musical soir\u00e9es organised at the Bauhaus. On these evenings, audiences were treated to performances by some of the most innovative contemporary musicians around, such as Henry Cowell, Viviane Fine and others.<br><br>Nowadays when we think about music at the Bauhaus, what most often comes to mind is the famous Bauhaus Orchestra \u2013 a group of students who had never received formal training as musicians. That didn\u2019t stop them from picking up some random instrument or everyday object and performing music together. The Bauhaus Orchestra was an attempt to somehow translate the processes and social movements of their world into music. As you see, musical life at the Bauhaus was very multifaceted.<br><br><strong>This year is the second time the \u201cBauhaus Music\u201d festival will be taking place. What can visitors look forward to in the upcoming edition? Can you give us a hint about what \u201cbauhaus music\u201d might look like in 2025?<br><\/strong><br>Dieses Jahr gibt es mehrere aufregende neue Entwicklungen:  Zun\u00e4chst wechseln wir den Veranstaltungsort. Mit der ersten Ausgabe von \u201ebauhaus music\u201c warfen wir 2023 einen Blick hundert Jahre zur\u00fcck auf die Bauhaus-Woche \u2013 der historische Meistersaal war deshalb der perfekte This year holds a number of exciting new developments. First of all, we\u2019re changing the venue. In the first edition of \u201cBauhaus Music\u201d in 2023, we focused on the centennial of the Bauhaus Week. And the historical Meistersaal was the perfect venue to underscore the historical perspective even more strongly. This year we\u2019re very happy to be hosted at Villa Elisabeth and St. Elisabeth\u2019s \u2013 wonderfully versatile rooms that can be used for rehearsals, concerts and our educational programmes.<br><br>Together with Cathy Milliken, we\u2019ll be presenting works by a contemporary composer for the first time as part of a lunch concert. I think it\u2019ll be a wonderful addition, entirely in the spirit of the Bauhaus. Cathy Milliken will also be working together with pupils in an educational programme featuring a special method that she calls a \u201cparticipative composition process\u201d. I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing the results she\u2019ll be presenting together with the pupils.<br><br>Another development is that we\u2019re thinking much bigger in this year\u2019s edition. Last year we only had one ensemble. This year we\u2019ve invited an entire chamber orchestra: The German Chamber Orchestra of Berlin will be the centrepiece of Friday\u2019s programme. Most of the musicians are members of the orchestra at the Komisches Oper.

Last year we presented a kaleidoscope of musical pieces which were historically related to the Bauhaus Week. This year we\u2019ll be delving deeper into the life stories of certain Bauhaus figures. On Saturday, we\u2019ll be featuring an entire portrait concert dedicated to Stefan Wolpe. For me, he is really one of the most fascinating figures that stands out in the context of the Bauhaus and music.<br><br>And finally, there\u2019s another highlight \u2013 the festival kicks off with a sensational discovery by Kai Hinrich M\u00fcller (also part of the artistic direction team; Ed.). While researching the musical life at the Bauhaus, we discovered \u201cParabola and Circula\u201d, an avant-garde opera written in 1929\/30 by the American composer Marc Blitzstein. It was supposed to premiere at the Dessau Theatre, but it never happened. At the Lunch Concert at the temporary bauhaus-archiv on 17 October, festival goers will be able to listen to excerpts from the opera for the first time.<br><br>As for what to expect next year, I can only promise you one thing: Everything will be even bigger!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-links'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 770,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-218x300.jpg\",\"width\":218,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":15583},\"large\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-745x1024.jpg\",\"width\":745,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":111667},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-768x1056.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1056,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":116955},\"small\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-320x440.jpg\",\"width\":320,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":27886},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-422x580.jpg\",\"width\":422,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":43926},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA-524x720.jpg\",\"width\":524,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":62326},\"original\":{\"file\":\"F6399_Metalltanz-mit-Karla-Grosch_Foto_Binnemann_Choreograf_Schlemmer_1929_BHA.jpg\",\"width\":873,\"height\":1200}},\n\"alt\" : \"Artistic black-and-white image of a posing body with dramatic shadows and reflective elements.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:137.45704467354%;

What are your tasks and what past experiences have proven especially important to you in this regard? <\/strong><br><br>I\u2019m part of a three-person team together with Karl-Heinz Steffens and Kai-Hinrich M\u00fcller. Concerning the programme, we work together like a think-tank. We start by writing lots of emails back and forth and meeting up for extended dinners during which each of us shares our individual perspectives, wishes and ideas for the festival. Our goal is to design a new and interesting programme that we can realistically implement. I\u2019m in charge of handling many of the organisational tasks, for example, recruiting musicians and scouting for performance venues for the festival. I also draw up the rehearsal schedules for all the musicians and coordinate timetables and instrument rentals.<br><br>It has been especially rewarding to examine the life of Stefan Wolpe even more deeply this year. When I put the programme together and looked at his various works, I thought a lot about which ones best represented his musical career and personal background, as well as his relationship to the Bauhaus. I don\u2019t want to give away too much, but only invite all your readers to attend this extraordinary concert!<br><br>One of the reasons why this work is so meaningful to me is that my piano teacher, the late Professor Benjamin Oren, with whom I\u2019d worked since I was twelve, studied together with Irma Wolpe Rademacher at the Juilliard School. She was Stefan\u2019s second wife, a fantastic pianist herself and a wonderful teacher. It was through Benjamin Oren that I learned a lot about her and Stefan. He also introduced me to a very special composition by Stefan Wolpe which will be performed at this year\u2019s festival: the two piano suite \u201cThe Man from Midian\u201d, inspired by the history of Moses.<br><br><strong>Society and music are closely interlinked, and \u201cBauhaus Music\u201d addresses the highly topical issue of freedom and exile. What can music at the Bauhaus teach us with respect to our society today?<\/strong><br><br>That\u2019s a difficult question. This year\u2019s motto has a dual meaning. On one hand, we felt it important to address the subject of artistic freedom. Kai-Hinrich M\u00fcller was inspired by something the composer Ruth Crawford Seeger wrote regarding her visit at the Bauhaus: \u201cThe Bauhaus yesterday was an experience. It made a big impression on me. In fact, I was for a few minutes strongly tempted \u2013 to study there!! Have you seen pictures of the place? \u2026 It is the most optimistic place in feeling (I mean, the architecture, the space-feeling, the light) \u2026. I felt released, freed.\u201d This feeling of freedom which arises from collaboration and mutual inspiration is something that many members of the Bauhaus experienced in those days.<br><br>Exile, in this sense, could mean that those who had to emigrate took the Bauhaus with them in how they thought and in their artistic freedom. This guided the spirit and ideas of the Bauhaus at Black Mountain College and at all the other places where the former members of the Bauhaus eventually ended up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-zitat'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure class='wp-block-ho-quote '>\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\u201cThe history of the Bauhaus is to a certain extent a perfect starting point to listen to and learn from the past \u2013 for the sake of our future.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption>Michal Friedl\u00e4nder<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-6'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h5' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-6'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>On the other hand, the motto \u201cFreedom and Exile\u201d also has to do with personal freedom. Like many other cultural and artistic movements, the Bauhaus was forced to close in the early years of the Nazi regime in Germany. Many Bauhaus artists had to flee and live in exile, such as Kurt Schwitters whose \u201cUrsonate\u201d [Sonata in Primal Sounds] will be performed at the festival. Although he wasn\u2019t Jewish, his works were considered \u201cdegenerate\u201d and for that reason, he had to leave the country. Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg emigrated as well, as did Stefan Wolpe. His story is especially painful and tragic \u2013 I encourage everyone to come to the concert on Saturday to learn more about his life. He initially moved to Palestine but left in 1938 under dramatic circumstances to resettle in the United States.<br><br>There is surely a lot to say about the meaning of Bauhaus Music and the topic of freedom and exile for us today. In short, the Bauhaus was active in the Weimar Republic and closed its doors in the 1930s several years before the war. I think for us, as a society, it\u2019s important to reflect intensively on the years before the Nazis seized power. We have to remember and recognise the parallels of what is happening in our society today. Many people are concerned about the political situation in Germany, Europe and the whole world. The history of the Bauhaus is to a certain extent a perfect starting point to listen to and learn from the past \u2013 for the sake of our future.<br><br><strong>How much Bauhaus has found its way into your own music? <\/strong><br><br>VERY MUCH! I have the great privilege of not only planning this year\u2019s festival programme, but also performing several pieces \u2013 and I\u2019m thrilled! I\u2019ll be performing \u201cPierrot Lunaire\u201d and also playing the piano line in the piece by Bart\u00f3k for strings, percussion and celesta. I\u2019ll be performing the \u201cTwo Piano Suite\u201d by Stefan Wolpe together with a colleague from the Hebrew University, the Rubin Academy in Jerusalem.<br><br>We\u2019ve decided to perform the piece together in Jerusalem as well as Berlin since the Rubin Academy was Stefan Wolpe\u2019s home when he moved to Palestine and founded this department for composition at the university. I\u2019m right in the middle of the rehearsal and learning process for a number of pieces \u2013 so I\u2019ve got a lot of Bauhaus in my appointment calendar.<br><br><strong>The Bauhaus-Archiv owns the most comprehensive Bauhaus collection in the world. We\u2019ve picked out a photograph from our collection. What does it bring to mind spontaneously?<\/strong><br><br>Oh, the Triadic Ballet, right? It\u2019s wonderful. It represents the 20th century so well \u2013 but is also so modern! Intriguing and whimsical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-volle-breite'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 772,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-300x190.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":190,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":12603},\"large\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-1024x647.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":647,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":92298},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-768x485.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":485,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":57052},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-1536x970.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":970,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":185085},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-2048x1294.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1294,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":303140},\"small\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-440x278.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":278,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":22912},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-580x366.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":366,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":35879},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-720x455.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":455,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":51330},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-1280x809.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":809,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":135669},\"full\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA-1920x1213.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1213,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":271670},\"original\":{\"file\":\"ohne-Inventarnr_Triadisches-Ballett-Gruppenfoto_Foto_Ernst-Schneider_Entwurf_Oskar-Schlemmer_1926_BHA.jpg\",\"width\":4048,\"height\":2557}},\n\"alt\" : \"Artistic group in imaginative costumes with geometric shapes and eye-catching accessories on a stage.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : {\"x\":0.5,\"y\":0.5},\n\"background\" : true,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:52%;
