When Carl Orff's rhythm meets club beats and Mongolian sound worlds
On Thursday, October 8, 2026, the MODEON in Marktoberdorf transforms into a resonance space for musical boundary crossings. The Bavarian Philharmonic brings together classical concert music, electronic club culture, and international world music in a shared beat at the 17th Orff Days.
Between concert hall and dance floor
Central to this event is Carl Orff's visionary, rhythmically oriented compositional approach. The Techno Piano Trio LBT conveys its energy into a live-generated sound language of virtuosic piano playing, bass, drums, and pulsating beats. This creates a sound that combines the precision of classical chamber music with the physical immediacy of a club.
Mongolian overtones and the voice of the Morin khuur
Enkhjargal Dandarvaanchig opens the evening to the sound traditions of Central Asia. His overtone singing generates multiple audible sound layers, while the traditional Mongolian horsehead fiddle Morin khuur introduces an archaic, characterful tone into the modern crossover. The encounter of overtone singing, string instruments, and rhythm influenced by electronics creates an unusual musical dramaturgy.
Choir, string quintet, and percussion in a grand sound landscape
Together with the choir of the Bavarian Philharmonic, the string quintet, the piano duo, and the percussion ensemble, a multifaceted stage performance emerges. Orchestration, rhythmic synchronization, and differentiated sound colors connect different generations, cultures, and genres. Mark Mast takes on overall direction and moderation, guiding this musical dialogue between tradition and the present.
A concert experience full of movement
The audience can expect a concert with driving percussion, striking piano patterns, choral sound fullness, and the floating resonances of Mongolian overtone singing. The live atmosphere thrives on the transition between concentrated concert acoustics and immediate beat energy. Carl Orff's idea of elemental, physically experienced music receives a contemporary perspective.
Conclusion: Bavaria in Beat promises a concert evening that dissolves boundaries between classical music, techno, and world music. Anyone wanting to experience musical surprises, strong rhythms, and extraordinary sound colors live should not miss this evening at the MODEON.
