Breath, Shadows, and New Sound Worlds in the Dornse
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, Braunschweig will experience the conclusion of the three-day festival Confrontations – Topography of Breaks. In the historic Old Town Town Hall - Dornse, contemporary music merges with classical modernity, electronics, and free improvisation. The concert begins at 11:00 AM and is free of charge.
A Chamber Music Program Between Sound and Silence
The third festival day is titled Breath / Shadows and focuses on the elemental connection between body, breath, and instrument. Together with flutist Clément Michelot, Vlady Bystrov develops a concentrated chamber music program between new compositions, classical modernity, and electronic expansion.
When Breath Becomes Musical Impulse
Flute, clarinet, and saxophone make the physical origin of each sound immediately audible. Each sound begins with a breath, gains space, and then disappears back into silence. Several world premieres place the encounter between acoustic instruments and electronics at the center.
Electronics as Echo, Mirror, and Shadow
The electronic layer does not create an artificial counter-world but rather expands the instrumental sound. Sounds are elongated, mirrored, or relocated to another point in space. This creates an open sound architecture, where composed structures, improvisation, and spatial perception intertwine.
Festival Atmosphere in the Historic Old Town Town Hall
The Dornse in the Old Town Town Hall creates an intimate resonance space for focused listening. Between historic architecture and modern sound technology, the audience experiences the music up close. The festival presents New Music not as a distant specialty format, but as a vibrant multi-day experience with an intense atmosphere and an open community feeling.
A Festival Conclusion with an Open End
After the first two festival days featuring improvisation, electronics, media art, film projections, and kinetic objects, Sunday returns to a reduced musical gesture. The conclusion does not set a final period but opens a space between the audible and the inaudible.
Conclusion: Three Days of New Music Braunschweig 2026 invites you to leave familiar listening habits behind and experience contemporary music physically, spatially, and visually. Those who want to experience sound art, chamber music, and experimental concert forms live will find an impressive festival conclusion in the Dornse. Admission is free.
