Nachtmusik - ECLAT Festival Neue Musik Stuttgart 2026

In the night concert of the ECLAT festival opening, the internationally renowned Ensemble LUX:NM invites you to the world premiere of Hans Thomalla's "Nachtmusik" in a lighting concept by Marcel Weber.

Hans Thomalla: Nachtmusik
for ensemble in space and light (premiere)
Ensemble LUX:NM
Lighting concept: Marcel Weber

The ensemble in space, in the middle of the audience, staged by light art: Nachtmusik is a musical exploration of the night and the heightened contrasts that accompany it - as a time of rest between wakefulness, dreams and sleep, but also as a state of vulnerability, exposure, nightmares and violence. Even if Nachtmusik emphasizes the immediate, even intimate experience of silence and darkness, the analogy to the "dark times" into which the world seems to be increasingly losing itself, to the ever sharper contradictions, cannot be ignored.
