Nuremberg Music Installations

The “Nuremberg Music Installations” is a festival of innovative musical forms and formats which combine elements of music theatre, installation, concert and performance.

For the next edition scheduled from 23 May to 1 June 2025, the festival will be staging installations at ten different locations in Nuremberg. One of the featured events will be a choreographed performance for the former Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds developed by composer Amir Sphilman and his artistic team. His artistic intervention will examine the mass parades which once took place there and venture in search of democratic notions of the masses and the individual. The piece by artist and performer Lulu Obermayer highlights the eventful 120-year performance history of the Nuremberg Opera House, its legends and female protagonists. The composer Moor Mother, who regards herself as much of an activist as an artist, will create a space for improvisation. And the choreographer and dancer Adam Linder will work together with dancers from the Bavarian Junior Ballet company. The resulting dance piece will reflect on the patriarchal structures which have inscribed themselves into the bodies and movement sequences of classical ballet. Additional music installations will be selected and implemented following an open call for proposals targeted at artists and collectives in Nuremberg and the surrounding region.
