Bernhard Forck live in Vienna

Experience Bernhard Forck live on April 22nd

Bernhard Forck, a contemporary Austrian composer, is known for his work exploring the intersection of classical instrumentation with electronic soundscapes and often incorporates elements of minimalism and spectral music. His compositions frequently feature extended techniques and a focus on timbre, creating immersive and atmospheric experiences. He often draws inspiration from natural phenomena and philosophical concepts.

The performance on April 22nd, 2027, takes place at Theater an der Wien’s “Hölle” (Hell) space. Originally built in 1906 as the first fully electrified theatre in Vienna, the Hölle served initially as a popular operetta and musical theatre venue – a more accessible counterpart to the main Theater an der Wien building. Throughout its history, it has undergone several transformations including periods as a cinema and a television studio.

In recent decades, Theater an der Wien strategically repurposed the Hölle as an experimental performance space dedicated to contemporary opera, dance theatre, and interdisciplinary projects. It's smaller capacity compared to the main hall fosters a more intimate connection between performers and audience, allowing for innovative staging possibilities and a focus on new artistic voices.
