Thursday: Music at the Museum

Given carte blanche to Alicja Kwade in spring 2027, this programme pairs music with the artist’s exhibition. Three musicians from the Ensemble perform short programmes within the museum spaces, creating acoustic dialogues with Kwade’s sculptural and conceptual work. The performances explore resonance, scale and perception, inviting attentive listening and subtle shifts in how objects and sound relate. Intimate and atmospheric, the project blends contemporary composition and curated listening in an exploratory, contemplative register.
