Taking part in the Fête de la Musique has become a regular feature of the exploratorium berlin’s annual programme. In 2026, we will once again be showcasing the stylistic diversity of freely improvised music. Ensembles that have come together at the exploratorium and rehearse there regularly will present various forms of contemporary improvisation — ranging from small groups to large ensembles.
