As part of the Sustainability Weeks 2026: “und jetzt!” (and now!)

Poetry slam meets classical symphony orchestra. Sebastian 23, "a magnificent wordsmith and sharp-tongued thinker" (zeit.de), encounters Ludwig van Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The result is a top-class symphonic slam offering fresh perspectives on sustainability and environmental protection. As further musical inspiration, the first part features Antonio Vivaldi's cycle Le quattro stagioni – The Four Seasons, inspired by Baroque poetry.
