Björn Meyer live in Heidelberg

Experience Björn Meyer live on October 18th

Björn Meyer will perform a concert at Sammlung Prinzhorn in Heidelberg, Germany on October 18, 2026. Meyer’s musical work frequently explores the intersection of acoustic instruments, electronic processing, and field recordings, often resulting in soundscapes described as ambient, drone-based, or experimental classical. His compositions often incorporate extended techniques and a focus on timbre and texture. He has released albums on labels such as Denovali and Room40.

Sammlung Prinzhorn is a unique collection of outsider art, assembled primarily by Dr. Heinrich Prinzhorn, a psychiatrist at the Heidelberg University Psychiatric Hospital. Beginning in the 1920s, Prinzhorn collected artworks created by patients – individuals largely excluded from the established art world – recognizing artistic expression as integral to the human experience, regardless of mental health status. The collection encompasses paintings, drawings, sculptures, and writings.

The Sammlung Prinzhorn is not simply an archive; it’s also a research institution dedicated to the study of art brut (art outside the mainstream) and psychoanalytic approaches to art. The building itself underwent extensive renovation and reopened in 2019, offering exhibition spaces alongside research facilities and a library.
