Hauschka
Hauschka is the alias of German pianist composer Volker Bertelmann, who currently resides in Dusseldorf. Having studied classical piano for ten years, his work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of the possibilities of the ‘prepared’ piano – a playfully disruptive intervention into the preconceived idea of the piano as a pure-toned, perfected instrument waiting for a gifted virtuoso to play on it.

Potential Energies | Nouveau Classical Project
Nouveau Classical Project
The Nouveau Classical Project creates imaginative work through collaborations between the classical music and fashion worlds. The ensemble joins forces with choreographer Barbie Diewald and composer Trevor Gureckis to create Potential Energies, a bold new modern ballet where musicians, transcending their conventional roles, are paired with a dancer. These pairs act as two sides to a single identity attempting to reconcile ambitions with reality. Inspired by the emerging adulthood of the Millennial Generation, the arduous journey of artists, hope, and rude awakenings, Potential Energies is a daring undertaking by artists who are not only creating the work, but also living it.
