An evening between electronics and lute sound at the Beethovenfest Bonn
On September 24, 2026, finely crafted electronics meet the warm resonance space of the lute in the studio of the Beethovenhalle Bonn: Janus Rasmussen and David Bergmüller invite you to a concert that elegantly intertwines chamber music, sound design, and club aesthetics.
When sound becomes space
Janus Rasmussen, known as one half of Kiasmos and for his experimental electronic music from Reykjavik, brings his reduced, pulsating sound language to Bonn. David Bergmüller is one of the most exciting lutenists of his generation, combining historically informed playing practices with contemporary openness. Together, they create a concert experience in which delicate impulses, rhythmic tension, and atmospheric depth intertwine.
Between studio intimacy and large stage
The studio of the Beethovenhalle is ideally suited for such boundary crossings, with its modern stage technology and concentrated live atmosphere. Here, electronic patterns, intricate plucking motifs, and spatial sound colors unfold particularly directly. The audience does not experience a standardized festival routine but rather an evening focused on closeness, precision, and emotional intensity.
A duo with artistic profile
The collaboration between the two musicians is not a coincidence but a developed project with a recognizable profile. In their joint release Wirbel, acoustic and electronic levels merge into an organic flow that consciously keeps the boundaries between composition, improvisation, and production open. This mix is what makes the evening appealing: a dialogue that is both intellectually and physically engaging.
Beethovenhalle Bonn as a suitable resonance space
The Beethovenhalle is centrally located on the Rhine, about a 15-minute walk from Bonn Central Station. Public transport is recommended for getting there; the Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz stop is just a few minutes on foot. Those arriving by car will find several parking options around the hall, including the Beethoven parking garage. The studio itself has 486 seats and is designed to be accessible, except for the balcony or the tier in the main hall.
Conclusion
Janus Rasmussen and David Bergmüller promise an evening in Bonn for open ears and curious hearts: modern, chamber-music-like, hypnotic, and full of subtle tension. Anyone who wants to experience electronic textures and acoustic detail work in an extraordinary live atmosphere should mark this date at the Beethovenfest 2026.
