MaerzMusik

MaerzMusik sees itself as a place to exchange artistic knowledge(s) through new encounters and collective experiences. The festival is rooted in the multimodality of listening, contemporary music, and sound, employing concerts, performances, installations, music theatre, film screenings, and discursive formats to open up a space where life, art, and theory can co-exist. Since 2022, Kamila Metwaly has been the artistic director of the festival, which is always organised by the Berliner Festspiele from mid to late March.

The central venue for MaerzMusik is the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. However, many events also take place at other venues in Berlin, some of which are also long-standing partners of the festival, such as Akademie der Künste, DAAD Gallery, Chamber Music Hall of the Philharmonie, Radialsystem V, SAVVY Contemporary, Theater im Delphi, Villa and St. Elisabeth Church.
