Johannes Willig live in Karlsruhe

Experience Johannes Willig live on February 17th

Johannes Willig will perform at the Badisches Staatstheater in Karlsruhe, Germany on February 17, 2027. Willig is a German composer and didgeridoo player known for blending contemporary classical music with elements of world music, particularly drawing from Australian Aboriginal traditions through his mastery of the didgeridoo. His compositions often feature extended techniques on the instrument alongside orchestral arrangements, creating a unique sonic landscape characterized by drone-based textures and rhythmic complexity. He frequently explores themes relating to nature and cultural exchange within his work.

The Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe is a multi-disciplinary performing arts institution encompassing opera, drama, ballet, and concert performances. Founded in 1809 under Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Baden, it boasts a rich history rooted in the Enlightenment ideals of public access to culture. The theatre building itself has undergone several renovations and expansions over its two-century existence; the current main building dates largely from the post-war period, rebuilt after significant damage during World War II. It’s considered an important regional cultural center and maintains a reputation for diverse programming and high artistic standards. The venue's concert hall provides acoustics suitable for both orchestral and solo performances.
