Announcements

We’re marking Piano Day this year with an all day celebration at Funkhaus, and you’re invited to join us either in person or via live stream.

Falling one key short, but no less harmonious, on the 87th day of the year we come together to celebrate international Piano Day. Here in Berlin, where the day was founded by Nils Frahm, we mark the occasion together.

From 12pm until 8pm, a broad scope of local and international artists will present piano centred performances unfolding live from Catalyst’s studios. These will be streamed throughout the day via Etikett Radio and Catalyst’s YouTube.

If you’re on campus, you’re warmly invited to grab a drink from our pop up bar & gather in Co Lab 6 where the performances will be shared, with moments to step a little closer to the source across the day.

Our aim is simple: to detach from the chaos and connect with each other in a slower fashion.

• Time: 12:00–20:00 onsite, 13:00–18:30 stream
