Bauhaus Archive

Bauhaus and music – a con­nec­tion that has been rarely made until now. And yet, the first guest event at the Wei­mar Bauhaus in 1919 was ded­ic­ated to music, and numer­ous music­al per­form­ances fol­lowed. Even when the school first opened its doors to an inter­ested pub­lic in an exhib­i­tion in 1923, music once again played a prom­in­ent role: com­posers such as Igor Strav­in­sky, Paul Hindemith, and Fer­ruc­cio Busoni were guests in Wei­mar in 1923 and presen­ted their works at the open­ing of the exhib­i­tion as part of the five-day Bauhaus Week.

Since 2021, the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design has been research­ing the con­nec­tions between the Bauhaus and music in the inter­dis­cip­lin­ary research pro­ject bauhaus music.

In 2023, Opheli­as Cul­ture PR already sup­por­ted the kick-off of the „bauhaus music“ fest­iv­al. In 2025, Opheli­as Cul­ture PR will be sup­port­ing the Bauhaus Archive with stra­tegic con­sultancy. In addi­tion, there will be inter­na­tion­al press work for the musikfest ber­lin 2025, at which the cubist opera Para­bola and Circle was premiered in a con­cert per­form­ance by Marc Blitz­stein at the Ber­lin Phil­har­monie.
