UpToThree Festival 2025

In the organizer's words:

Up to three musicians perform simultaneously on the stage of the Acker Stadt Palast and are joined by several guest performers. With the theme THE BODY IN MUSIC, we open up a wide field of associations that the participating artists approach in a variety of ways. Musical aspects of physicality come into focus: the virtuoso use of the body by musicians, the exhibited materiality of instrument, sound and noise or composed symbols of physical presence. The ensemble mosaik is joined by guest artists who enrich the stage events with vocal, performative and dance expression.
