Our Projects & events
Our new, pioneering and long-term community music residency in Chemnitz.
We invite you to join us in making music in the European Capital of Culture and beyond! Everyone is an artist. Throughout the entire Capital of Culture year, we invite you to make music and create together in open, free music workshops at various locations in the city. Whether you are young or old, musically experienced or curious – everyone is welcome here! Come by to sing, play, chat or jam and help shape our first big community event in December 2025.

ICH MACH `NE SZENE
A music theatre project for families, children and young people (8+)
What moves me and what does it actually sound like? What language does my body speak and how do I express myself? We invite you to develop a piece of music theatre with us: melodies that have been with us for a long time or have only just formed in our heads. Ideas and texts that we write in the moment and then develop further! Come along and let your creativity run free.
