Chorus
A Sound-Installation by Annika Kahrs
We’ll be opening the exhibition with the artist and a live set by Jasmine Guffond.
Regular: free of charge
2h 30min
What happens when a church itself begins to make sound? In her new sound installation ‘Chorus’, the artist transforms the Nikolaikirche into a walk-in musical ensemble.
To kick things off, artist and composer Jasmine Guffond will bring the installation to life with a live set. Look forward to further programme highlights and events surrounding the opening!
If you’d like, you can explore the sound installation beforehand from 12 noon to 5 pm, every hour on the hour. Later in the evening, you can also experience it again on a guided tour with Annika Kahrs.
