Edgar Knecht live in Friedberg

Experience Edgar Knecht live on December 11th

Edgar Knecht will perform at Theater Altes Hallenbad in Friedberg, Germany on December 11, 2026. Knecht is a German musician known for his compositions blending elements of contemporary classical music with influences from jazz and improvisation. His work frequently features piano as a central instrument, often incorporating electronic soundscapes and extended techniques to create atmospheric and emotionally resonant pieces. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and regularly performs both solo and with ensembles.

Theater Altes Hallenbad is a unique performance space located in Friedberg’s old swimming pool building. Originally constructed in the 1930s in the Bauhaus style, the hallenbad (indoor swimming pool) was closed in the 1980s due to structural issues. Following extensive renovation between 2016-2018, it was repurposed as a cultural venue, retaining many of its original architectural features including high ceilings, large windows, and tilework. The space now hosts a variety of events including concerts, theatre productions, exhibitions, and film screenings. Its acoustics are noted for being particularly well-suited to chamber music and experimental sound art due to the building’s reverberant qualities and unusual shape.
