Volkenroda: Music Think Tank Volkenroda, Thüringen 23.06. - 25.06.2023

© Astis Krause

After ten years of festival work at the Volkenroda Monastery in Thuringia (where the 1:1 CONCERTS were launched in 2019!) this year we want to pause and look at the past, the present and the future. Therefore this year 1:1 CONCERTS e.V. will open a musical think tank, a laboratory for dialogue and visions, along with our audience. What do we love about the summer concerts? What is the essence of the festival? What is it that appeals to us so much? What of all this can we carry into the future and how? And what is it that makes you - our dear audience - like to come to us?

From June 23rd to 25th 2023, we will meet at Volkenroda Monastery to explore how the future of the summer concerts can be shaped and meaningfully implemented - in conversations, in workshops, during walks and of course with music. We offer a series of workshops - with musicians, members of the monastery, with young people, with our team and our audience. Each workshop will be musically designed by our ensemble, and the music can be a method, a content or stimulus - let us surprise you.

Für das interdisziplinäre Team rund um Stephanie Winker und Franziska Ritter ist die Architektur und Atmosphäre des Klosters Volkenroda jedes Jahr aufs neue Experimentierlabor und Impulsgeber für die Entwicklung neuer Musikformate und Aufführungsszenarien im Spannungsfeld von Klang und Raum.

Locations

In der geografischen Mitte Deutschlands gelegen und von einer wechselvollen Geschichte geprägt, ist das thüringische Kloster Volkenroda bei Mühlhausen zu einem Ort des hoffnungsvollen Aufbruchs geworden. Das 1131 gegründete Kloster Volkenroda besitzt die älteste noch erhaltene Zisterzienser-Klosterkirche in Deutschland. Heute weht ein frischer Wind durch alte Mauern, und es entfaltet sich ein zeitgemäßes Leben im Miteinander von Klostergemeinschaft und Jugendbildung, von Kultur und Landwirtschaft.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Christus-Pavillon von gmp Architekten: das imposante Gebäude wurde nach der EXPO Weltausstellung 2000 in Volkenroda nachhaltig wieder aufgebaut und seitdem intensiv kulturell genutzt - zum Beispiel mit unserem Sommerfestival, auf dem 2019 die 1:1 CONCERTS ihre Premiere hatten.
