Morgenkonzerte im Musikwohnhaus
Musikwohnhaus Basel (Lothringerstrasse 165)
The Morgenkonzerte (morning concerts) im Musikwohnhaus Basel are a very special format that has been going on for almost a decade now: based on an idea by Francisca Näf, the Musikwohnhaus (MuWo) Basel has been hosting concerts between 7 and 7.30 am (yes, in the morning!) in the week around the mid-summer day since 2017. On five consecutive days, musicians of the MuWo perform for an astonishingly big audience from the close neighborhood, but also from as far away as the German communities beyond the border, at a time that is nowhere near the usual concert routines. The short breakfast concerts which can be heard while sipping a well-needed cup of coffee and munching on a croissant, are an invitation to experience diverse musical styles from medieval music to jazz and contemporary music. Since 2023 the concerts are repeated immediately afterwards at the Primarschule Lysbüchel as a contribution of the Musikwohnhaus to the quarter in the form of a music education project. The entrance is free, donations are welcome.
