100 pianos – Soundscapes from Kunsthaus to Münsterhof

With a collective of 100 pianists we come together in Zurich’s old town to create a new sound. We invite everyone not only to listen, but also to join in right away. Join us and help us bring the siren alarm to the whole city: Pick up the keys yourself, lend us your piano or contribute to the artists’ fees.

In cooperation with Kunsthaus Zürich, guerillaclassics breaks out of the exhibition “Gerhard Richter. Landscape.” At ten different locations, we will make the Old Town resound simultaneously – from pianos rolling across Heimplatz, to pink toy pianos on Weidlings on the Limmat, to the large organ in the Fraumünster. Starting with a concert in Kunsthaus with Luc van Doornick and Marta Patrocínio, the piano sounds by composers who accompanied Richter in his creative process will then let ourselves drift from one sound island to the next. Landscape images become landscape sounds become soundscapes.

Each of the stations will also be broadcast via live stream to the Kunsthaus (lecture hall) as well as on social media.
