Duration of event: approx. 6 hours

Entrance € 16.00 (Participation fee)

“FUGE / SPRAY / CODE” is an interdisciplinary music and street art workshop for young people that translates Johann Sebastian Bach’s contrapuntal thinking into a contemporary visual language.

The starting point is the idea of the fugue as a complex interplay of voices, repetitions and shifts. Rather than approaching this structure through music theory, participants explore it physically, visually and creatively through graffiti and urban art. Working alongside a professional graffiti artist and a music educator, they create a large-scale mural that translates a Bach fugue into colours, lines and visual symbols.

The project brings together musical thinking, urban youth culture and visual expression, offering young people an accessible and engaging introduction to classical music, even without any previous musical knowledge.
