Roberto Petroli live in Basel

Experience Roberto Petroli live on August 12th

Roberto Petroli will perform at Kuppel Basel on August 12, 2026. Petroli is an Italian composer and performer known for his work with modular synthesizers and explorations of microtonal music. His compositions frequently blend electronic soundscapes with elements of ambient, drone, and experimental music, often characterized by intricate textures and a focus on the physicality of sound. He frequently incorporates self-built instruments into his performances alongside traditional electronic setups.

Kuppel Basel is a unique venue situated within the former Johannis Church in Basel’s Old Town. Originally consecrated in 1290, the church underwent secularization in 1893 and subsequently served various functions before being repurposed as a cultural space. The building’s defining feature is its large dome – the “Kuppel” (dome in German) – which contributes significantly to its distinctive acoustics. Today, Kuppel Basel hosts a diverse program of concerts, performances, club nights, and events spanning contemporary music, jazz, world music, and electronic genres. It is recognized for providing a platform for both established and emerging artists within an architecturally significant setting. The venue's intimate atmosphere and unusual spatial qualities are integral to the experience it offers.
