  The pop-up concerts are the surprise package at the Out Of The Box 2025 festival. Nobody knows what exactly will happen - not even the artistic director. The basic principle of the festival is encounters. At the pop-up concerts, all artists are invited to take part who happen to be on site at the time. They rehearse together for a day and develop a spontaneous programme that is made up of improvisation, interaction and the artistic source material of THE RESONANCE OF TIME's programmes.
  The audience will witness a unique artistic encounter of this kind.

  Pop-Up #1 will bring together the dancers from ‘Moving Borders’, violinist Gregor Hübner, poet Christine Yohannes and singer Marianna Sangita Røe from Trondheim Voices.

  The entrance fee is freely selectable and is paid when leaving the event. Booking is requested.

  The pop-up concerts are the surprise package at the Out Of The Box 2025 festival. Nobody knows what exactly will happen - not even the artistic director. The basic principle of the festival is encounters. At the pop-up concerts, all artists are invited to take part who happen to be on site at the time. They rehearse together for a day and develop a spontaneous programme that is made up of improvisation, interaction and the artistic source material of THE RESONANCE OF TIME's programmes.
  

  The audience will witness a unique artistic encounter of this kind.

  At Pop-Up #3, singer Sissel Vera Pettersen from the Trondheim Voices and sound artist Ben Miller will meet in the installation "The Reservoir of Sounds". Pettersen improvises and interacts with the immersive sound installation, which captures and reflects the festival events so far.

The company’s creative output therefore focuses on performances in public spaces, dance for young audiences, continuous performances and many other performance formats geared towards fostering encounters with the audience. The dancers are: Sofia Casprini, Jadwiga Mordarska, Marcello Musini and Dante Murillo.

  “The Trace of Echoes” is the title of the composition that Emmanuel Witzthum, the composer and artistic co-director of the festival, has written for the finale. Based on a graphic score, this composition gives the performers enormous leeway with regard to interpretation, encouraging them to incorporate and display their myriad of cultural identities. At the same time, this approach poses the major challenge of establishing a common relationship between music, space and time through communication with the other performers, and of finding and inventing themselves as an ensemble in this musical setting. Composed for the Trondheim Voices vocal ensemble, the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra and the Moving Borders dance ensemble under the direction of the choreographer Ceren Oran, Witzthum’s The Trace of Echoes will mark the climax and conclusion of our joint musical journey known as The Resonance of Time.

  The entrance fee is freely selectable and is paid when leaving the event. Booking is requested.

Karin Apollonia Müller is an internationally active, award-winning photographer who lives in both Germany and the USA. During the Out Of The Box festival, she will capture the moments between stories and layers. Her works are characterised by a profound examination of the perception of landscapes and human existence. Her ability to showcase everyday scenes in a new, often almost surrealistic, perspective by combining photographic methods and experimental techniques is particularly striking.

Klaus Erika Dietl and Stephanie Müller appreciate fissions in texture and questioning predefined norms. MEDIENDIENST LEISTUNGSHÖLLE is the duo’s base in Munich. They both work at the interface between artistic research and practice and have been active in Munich’s subculture for many years. They present their performances and mixed-media projects in institutions such as the documenta Halle in Kassel, the Staatstheater in Darmstadt and the Schirn in Frankfurt.

The Munich Composers Collective is a consortium of creative minds from the Munich music scene who have dedicated themselves to the promotion of innovative and cross-genre compositions. The collective’s members are versatile composers and musicians who merge jazz, contemporary music and improvised sounds. Their concerts are defined by the joy of experimentation and an intensive dialogue between the artists and audience.

  Based on the workshop concept ‘Body of Memories’ by Ruth Hof, music educator Martina Oberhauser has designed an interactive format for children. She playfully explores with the youngest members of the festival audience how it actually works to create music and sounds for memories. What images come to mind when we think of our memories? And how do we set these images to music? The children themselves become conductors and composers. The Trondheim Voices translate their ideas into music.
  Just like the ‘grown-up’ composers of the festival do..

  Age recommendation: 6 - 9 years

  The composer Henning Sieverts has written a piece that translates the church bells of the Irsee monastery church into an orchestra. This in turn inspired the composer Emmanuel Witzthum to write something for brass quartet - a piece reminiscent of the Jewish Shofar prayer horns. Both are sounds that come from a religious background and have something to say to us.

  Why do composers do this? And how does it work - transferring bells to violins and natural horns to trumpets and trombones?

  Music educator Martina Oberhauser goes in search of clues with children and their parents and with all those who are young and curious and explores in an interactive concert format what messages are hidden in this special music of ‘Bells’ and ‘Shevarim’.

Under the direction of violinist Hugo Ticciati, the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra has become an integral part of the vision of the Stockholm festival of the same name – O/Modernt (Swedish for “unfashionable”). During their thrilling concerts, O/Modernt explores the relationship between works by old composers and the artistic and intellectual output of contemporary culture – be it in music, art, theatre, film or even literature. The orchestra, which is made up of elite young musicians from all over Europe, develops eclectic, unorthodox programmes and collaborates with world-renowned soloists, jazz musicians and even rappers. You name it, they play it – their repertoire extends from medieval motets and Bach to Webern and Metallica. Despite or perhaps because of their youthfulness, coupled with the pinnacle of virtuosity they embody, the group is also becoming increasingly well-known on the international stage, having delighted audiences at venues such as the Wigmore Hall in London, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Viennese Musikverein and the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ in Amsterdam.

Golfam Khayam wrote the work especially for the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra, violinist Hugo Ticciati and singer Haleh Seyfizadeh. ‘Mirror Memory’ is based on the tradition of oral tradition, which is deeply rooted in Persian literature and music, and combines this with characteristics of contemporary music and elements of improvisation - like a memory that rises from the depths of the past and is constantly reflected and charged with new meanings on its journey through time and culture.

  “The Trace of Echoes” is the title of the composition that Emmanuel Witzthum, the composer and artistic co-director of the festival, has written for the finale. Based on a graphic score, this composition gives the performers enormous leeway with regard to interpretation, encouraging them to incorporate and display their myriad of cultural identities. At the same time, this approach poses the major challenge of establishing a common relationship between music, space and time through communication with the other performers, and of finding and inventing themselves as an ensemble in this musical setting. Composed for the Trondheim Voices vocal ensemble, the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra and the Moving Borders dance ensemble under the direction of the choreographer Ceren Oran, Witzthum’s The Trace of Echoes will mark the climax and conclusion of our joint musical journey known as The Resonance of Time.

  Based on the workshop concept ‘Body of Memories’ by Ruth Hof, music educator Martina Oberhauser has designed an interactive format for children. She playfully explores with the youngest members of the festival audience how it actually works to create music and sounds for memories. What images come to mind when we think of our memories? And how do we set these images to music? The children themselves become conductors and composers. The Trondheim Voices translate their ideas into music.
  Just like the ‘grown-up’ composers of the festival do..

  Age recommendation: 6 - 9 years

  The composer Henning Sieverts has written a piece that translates the church bells of the Irsee monastery church into an orchestra. This in turn inspired the composer Emmanuel Witzthum to write something for brass quartet - a piece reminiscent of the Jewish Shofar prayer horns. Both are sounds that come from a religious background and have something to say to us.

  Why do composers do this? And how does it work - transferring bells to violins and natural horns to trumpets and trombones?

  Music educator Martina Oberhauser goes in search of clues with children and their parents and with all those who are young and curious and explores in an interactive concert format what messages are hidden in this special music of ‘Bells’ and ‘Shevarim’.

The drummer and composer Oliver Steidle roams between various styles, from traditional jazz to experimental soundscapes. His ability to transform drum rhythms into novel, kaleidoscopic soundscapes – ranging from humorous to intense, free jazz outbursts – is remarkably compelling. Steidle plays in various ensembles such as “Der Rote Bereich” and “Killing Popes”, and also leads his own projects such as “SoKo Steidle”.

  The pop-up concerts are the surprise package at the Out Of The Box 2025 festival. Nobody knows what exactly will happen - not even the artistic director. The basic principle of the festival is encounters. At the pop-up concerts, all artists are invited to take part who happen to be on site at the time. They rehearse together for a day and develop a spontaneous programme that is made up of improvisation, interaction and the artistic source material of THE RESONANCE OF TIME's programmes.

  Pop-Up #4 is both the finale and the conclusion of the installation ‘The Reservoir of Sounds’ - and a summit meeting of all the festival's soloists. New additions are singer and actress Jelena Kuljic and drummer Oliver Steidle.

  The event starts at 8:00 pm and goes on into the night.

  The entrance fee is freely selectable and is paid when leaving the event. Booking is requested.

  “The Trace of Echoes” is the title of the composition that Emmanuel Witzthum, the composer and artistic co-director of the festival, has written for the finale. Based on a graphic score, this composition gives the performers enormous leeway with regard to interpretation, encouraging them to incorporate and display their myriad of cultural identities. At the same time, this approach poses the major challenge of establishing a common relationship between music, space and time through communication with the other performers, and of finding and inventing themselves as an ensemble in this musical setting. Composed for the Trondheim Voices vocal ensemble, the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra and the Moving Borders dance ensemble under the direction of the choreographer Ceren Oran, Witzthum’s The Trace of Echoes will mark the climax and conclusion of our joint musical journey known as The Resonance of Time.

  The entrance fee is freely selectable and is paid when leaving the event. Booking is requested.

A group of female vocal soloists, all specialised in different forms of improvisation, pooled their talent to create the Trondheim Voices. The individuality of each singer and her timbre, in combination with the others, takes centre stage, giving the group’s collective sound a singular quality. The vocal ensemble was formed in 2001 following a concert initiated by the MNJ (Mid-Norway Centre of Jazz). Spanning various collaborations and projects, the ensemble explores the potential of voice in combination with new technologies and body/movement/space/visuality. Trondheim Voices has enjoyed a long-standing collaboration with the Werksviertel-Mitte Kunst programme that stretches back many years. In 2016, they inaugurated the whiteBOX with their “Space Unfolding” production.

  “The Trace of Echoes” is the title of the composition that Emmanuel Witzthum, the composer and artistic co-director of the festival, has written for the finale. Based on a graphic score, this composition gives the performers enormous leeway with regard to interpretation, encouraging them to incorporate and display their myriad of cultural identities. At the same time, this approach poses the major challenge of establishing a common relationship between music, space and time through communication with the other performers, and of finding and inventing themselves as an ensemble in this musical setting. Composed for the Trondheim Voices vocal ensemble, the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra and the Moving Borders dance ensemble under the direction of the choreographer Ceren Oran, Witzthum’s The Trace of Echoes will mark the climax and conclusion of our joint musical journey known as The Resonance of Time.

  The entrance fee is freely selectable and is paid when leaving the event. Booking is requested.
