Hauschka transforms the concert piano into a sound laboratory

On Saturday, November 28, 2026, Hauschka will perform as part of the live arts series at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn. Starting at 7:30 PM, the audience can expect an intense concert experience that straddles experimental piano music, electronics, and contemporary sound art.

Between preparation, rhythm, and spatial sound

Hauschka, whose real name is Volker Bertelmann, treats the concert piano not as a static instrument but as a mutable acoustic body. Preparations, unusual playing techniques, and electronic elements expand the sound spectrum and create a multi-layered stage performance.

His music combines experimental structures with classic forms. Individual tones, percussive impulses, and finely tuned electronic textures merge into an orchestration that unfolds immediately in the space. The live atmosphere arises from the interplay of precision, openness, and spontaneous sonic discovery.

A composer between concert hall and cinema

Hauschka has released albums such as Ferndorf, Abandoned City, A Different Forest, and Philanthropy. Under his real name, Volker Bertelmann also composes orchestral works, theater music, and film scores. His music for Lion and Konklave received Oscar nominations; for All Quiet on the Western Front, he won the Oscar for Best Original Score.

This stylistic range also characterizes his concerts: a sound emerges that is both intimate and cinematic, created from minimalist touches, rhythmic synchronization, and atmospheric densification. The audience experiences music not only as a sequence of pieces but as a continuous process of movement, resonance, and tension.

Live arts at the Bundeskunsthalle

The live arts series opens the Bundeskunsthalle to music, dance, theater, and performance. Hauschka's appearance fits into this interdisciplinary program and places the immediate encounter of artist, instrument, and space in the spotlight.

The concert evening begins at 7:30 PM and is expected to end around 9:00 PM. Tickets cost 24 euros, reduced tickets 12 euros. Tickets are available at the box office of the Bundeskunsthalle as well as in the online shop. For severely disabled visitors entitled to an accompanying person, the accompanying person is free of charge with the corresponding mark B.

Conclusion: An evening for open ears

Hauschka promises in Bonn no ordinary piano concert, but an intense sonic journey between composition, improvisation, and electronic sound aesthetics. Anyone wanting to experience how a prepared piano can create an entire sound universe should attend this concert live at the Bundeskunsthalle.
