After a longer pause, I’m excited to return to the Kulturhaltestelle 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀 with an artist I first met many years ago and have wanted to bring to Weissenhorn Klassik Festival ever since.

I first heard Miako Klein Miako Klein during a rehearsal at a festival where we had both been invited. It was only a brief encounter, but her music stayed with me. Years passed, yet the idea remained: one day, I wanted to invite her to Weissenhorn.

This year, that wish finally becomes reality.

Miako will join the Weissenhorn Klassik Festival 2026 with the immersive formats Conscious Listening and Breath, Movement and Sound. We took this opportunity to introduce her and her artistic work more closely. Over the years, her artistic voice has developed in remarkable ways, creating work that moves between Early Music, contemporary music, improvisation, and performance while continuously challenging conventional concert formats.

In our conversation, Miako reflects on the connection between Early Music and improvisation, the importance of attentive listening in an overstimulated world, and the ways music can create spaces for presence, contemplation, and genuine human connection.

As she beautifully puts it:

“I believe listening is always a kind of mirror of where we find ourselves in life. How we feel, what preoccupies us, and the experiences we carry with us all influence the way we listen.”

Weißenhorn Klassik Festival 2026

11. Juli 2026 | 22:00 Uhr

✨Late Night – Minimal Music

Casco Phil – Streichquartett

Bei unserer ersten „Late Night“ auf dem Schlossplatz widmet sich das Streichquartett von Casco Phil den hypnotischen Klangwelten der Minimal Music. Wiederholung, Rhythmus und feine klangliche Veränderungen entfalten eine besondere Sogwirkung, meditativ, pulsierend und zeitlos zugleich.

Zwischen Konzentration, Trance und Klangpoesie entsteht ein spätnächtliches Open-Air-Erlebnis unter freiem Himmel, das den Schlossplatz für einen Moment in einen ganz eigenen Klangraum verwandelt.

Open-Air-Bühne Schlossplatz Weißenhorn

As always, returns from the European Festivals Association (EFA) Arts Festival Summit carrying not only new ideas and inspiring exchanges, but also a renewed sense of how important shared cultural experiences and long-term collaboration continue to be.

Once again, it was especially the small working groups, the inspiring conversations, the shared walks through the city, workshops, encounters and cultural experiences that made this exchange so meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to Grad Teatar Budva and the EFA team for their warm hospitality, thoughtful organisation and for creating spaces where dialogue, culture and collaboration can grow.

This year’s EFA Arts Festivals Summit begins today in Budva and over the following days Esther Kretzinger will join the summit as director of Kulturhaltestelle

Through our Series, we engage with artists, curators, festival makers and cultural actors across disciplines and borders, creating spaces for exchange, reflection and new perspectives.

Our journey with the EFA European Festivals Association (EFA) network began in Yerevan in 2022, the same year the Weissenhorn Klassik Festival received the EFFE Label. Since then, Kulturhaltestelle has proudly been part of the European Festivals Association as an official member.

Over the past four years, these encounters have led to inspiring conversations, meaningful collaborations and lasting connections across the cultural sector.

Excited to continue this dialogue in Budva, reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones along the way 🇪🇺🌍🎶
