Des Pudels Kern with Charly Hübner and Ingo Metzmacher

Des Pudels Kern is a series of talks on classical music, pop, philosophy, art and science.

We suck off the fat, listen back and into the future. What does Mozart's Figaro tell us about the abuse of power, what do martial arts and bowing have in common and what do we learn about romanticism for life in a climate catastrophe? Der Pudel offers the listener direct access to music and what it has to say: about the beauty of the world and the crises of our time.

From May, the podcast will be available at www.despudelskern.de.

Moderation and concept Elisa Erkelenz, David-Maria Gramse

 

 

Podcast

In die Gärten mit...

Every year the KunstFestSpiele invite outstanding artists to Hanover. With our podcast we would like to give our audience the opportunity to hear about what these practitioners are currently working on, what concerns them personally and how they perceive the Herrenhäuser Gardens. The radio journalist Juliane Reil meets selected artists before and during the KunstFestSpiele and joins them in conversation in the gardens. They can choose whether to walk in the Großer Garten, the Berggarten or the public Georgengarten. The gardens, we frequently observe, and Leibniz already knew, are wonderful places for intense conversation and discussion. Try it for yourself.

The conversations from the past two festivals can still be heard on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts or Spotify under ‘KunstFestSpiele’.

We wish you good listening.
