Jörg Brinkmann live in Heidelberg

Experience Jörg Brinkmann live on December 22nd

Jörg Brinkmann will perform at Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg on December 22, 2026. Brinkmann is a German composer and pianist known for his minimalist and atmospheric works, often described as contemporary classical or ambient. His compositions frequently incorporate prepared piano techniques – altering the instrument’s sound by placing objects on or between the strings – alongside electronic elements and field recordings. This creates textures that are both delicate and subtly unsettling, exploring themes of space, silence, and perception. He has released numerous albums on labels such as Raster-Noton and frequently collaborates with visual artists.

Karlstorbahnhof is a former railway station in Heidelberg, built in 1906 and ceasing passenger operations in 1967. The building itself is a notable example of Art Nouveau architecture, designed by architect Heinrich Backes. Following its closure as a station, it underwent periods of disuse before being repurposed as a cultural venue. Today, it hosts a variety of events including concerts, exhibitions, and performances. Its unique acoustics, stemming from its high ceilings and historical structure, contribute to its appeal as a performance space. The building is recognized as a historical landmark within the city of Heidelberg.
