What
began as a relatively small open-air festival in the courtyard of Moers castle
in 1972, quickly developed into a huge internationally respected event for
contemporary improvised music. Moers festival, which takes place every Whitsuntide,
continues to champion stepping out on a limb and the courage to innovate and is
thus a guarantor for musical discoveries beyond the mainstream. The aims of the
festival are adventure and the crossing of boundaries—the fact that these
musical boundaries are far apart is a declared intention.
KHM
TV broadcasts the festival live.
Science condensed down into exciting and lively 10-minute presentations: that’s Science Slam! Young scientists leave the labs and lecture halls and present their own research projects on the stages of clubs, theatres and pubs.
Regular
live streams of concerts produced by KHM TV.
From
pop concerts to freely improvised concerts as part of the AD HOC Festival,
organised by students of the HfMT and the KHM.
