Next week on July 9 our new production Nobodaddy is perfect will celebrate its premiere at Radialsystem. Tickets for the premiere and further shows on July 10 are available now. more 

„Über den Fetischcharakter in der Musik und die Regression des Hörens“ is a music theater piece that combines arias by Verdi, Italian pop songs from the 60s and a lecture performance: Adorno's critical text is the starting point of a discursive evening with the theatre collective copy & waste. The Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop designs versatile and inclined planes in order to listen to possible echoes and meanings of the text and at the same time drown it out with several musical forms – a melodrama evolves, in which Adorno's renowned essay on "serious and pop music" itself seems to become music. In "Untitled" violist Yodfat Miron of Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop and dance and choreographer Alix Einaudy devote themselves to a new view on the relationship of body and music – an experiment with an open outcome. more 

After last years' performances of "Der Opernwürfel" Kaleidoskop is happy to perform again alongside sopranist Sarah Maria Sun in Rainald Goetz' "Kolik" – a music theatre project by Jannik Giger, Leo Hofmann und Benjamin van Bebber. Tickets for the premiere German shows are available from the Radialsystem website. more 

This week sees the release of the new double LP "Zwischen den Tönen" by Ernstalnrecht Stiebler on Edition Telemark. A Kaleidoskop 2018 recording of the piece "ortung" from a concert at Berlin's Academy of the Arts is featured on the album. The LP will be presented on Tuesday, March 26 at KM28 in Berlin-Neukölln. As part of the programme Tilman Kanitz, cellist of Kaleidoskop, will perform a new piece by Stiebler. more 

On March 9, 2019 Kaleidoskop will be guest at the BASF-Feierabendhaus in Ludwigshafen. Together with the children's and youth's choir Juventis Vocalis we will present a staged concert including a world premiere by Thomas Meadowcroft and works by Tomaso Albinoni, James Tenney, Claude Vivier and Kevin Volans. more 

Tickets for the shows of RETURNING HOME by Ludger Engels & Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop on January 25, 26 and 27, 2019 at Radialsystem are now available! more 

Our new production with director Luigi De Angelis and the Italian compagnie Fanny & Alexander premieres on November 17 at Radialsystem followed by shows at the Romaeuropa Festival. more 

Kaleidoskop goes romantic – in series! Don't ask questions, and don't stop playing. In the concert series "FORT DA I–III" Franz Schubert, Sebastian Claren, César Franck, Philip Glass, Giacinto Scelsi, Theodor W. Adorno and Giuseppe Verdi meet Philipp Enders, copy & waste and Rashad Becker. RADIALSYSTEM V turns into a playground where you will hear splutters, stammers and scratches, and where you will indulge in the sweet sound of strings. First and foremost, it’s all about the music and the sensual, fragile, complex and touching ways in which it leads our thoughts into the unspeakable. more 

Kaleidoskop has been invited by the Tongyeong International Music Festival in South Korea. We will present our new music theatre piece "RETURNING HOME" – directed by Ludger Engels – based on Claudio Monteverdi's "Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria" and Korean Gagok.
