festival.M is an experimental concert performance festival that brings together musical styles from international artists on the theme of "MINIMAL."

With experimental concert designs and installations, festival.M inspires more lively stage moments and encounters in the classical concert hall.

All artists in the line-up sought points of contact with their audience in advance: since May 2025, they have been working with non-professionals in a parallel community program to develop individual storytelling for concert performances and involve them creatively and participatively in content generation. The vision: a collaborative festival that raises artistic and dramaturgical awareness of the "minimal" and enables a mindset that does not need "A LOT," but gets by with few means: sound, noise, presence, and encounter.

Four concerts or music installations with different lineups.
