Acht Brücken Stargaze DEG

Hip hop meets modern classic

What happens when modern classical music meets rap and the spoken word, or dance music with an electronic touch is mixed with an ensemble of acoustic instruments? Stargaze sets out to answer these questions, pooling the talent of pop artists with very different roots to compose new pieces; participants include the Lebanese female rapper Malikah, female singer Inna Modja from Mali and the actor Robert Gwisdek alias "Käptn Peng".

"Tone. Setting. Sound."

The ACHT BRÜCKEN | Musik für Köln festival is being held in Cologne for the seventh time between 28 April and 7 May 2017. Around 50 events centring on new music, jazz, world music and pop will explore the relationship between music and language entitled: "Ton. Satz. Laut." (Tone. Setting. Sound.).
