Munich‘s Philharmonic Orchestra is taking part in the Long Night at HP8 for the first time. They will be packing along two masterpieces of chamber music: the Piano Quintet in E flat minor by Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Franz Schubert's famous “Trout Quintet.” Two absolute classics of musical literature.

10.30 – 11.30 pm: Sinem

High-flyers: the Anadolu post-punk trio Sinem from Munich conjures up the spirit of the she-punks. Singer Sinem moves across the stage with lizard-like determination, as if her name were Iggy Türkpop. With a deaf performance by Ilknur Warnecke.

Midnight – 1 am: Kokonelle & Band

Kokonelle combines elements of hip-hop, R&B, Afro and soul while incorporating multiple languages. This diversity is reflected not only in her voice, but also in her profound lyrics in English, Lingala, French and German, which encompass a vast range of emotions and experiences.

HALLE E

11.30 pm – 12.30 am: LBT – Lively Techno

Produced purely acoustically, on piano, double bass, and drums, without computers or synthesizers. From lyrical to minimal, from deep to industrial, LBT's sound is multi-faceted and always driven by a pulsating kick drum. Their music is a journey inward, inviting you to dream as well as dance ecstatically.

1 – 2 am: Komfortrauschen (Comfortbuzz) – live techno from Berlin

Komfortrauschen is a live techno band that uses traditional instruments in an innovative way to create the hard-hitting sound of a DJ set. Imagine: a punk band trapped in a drum machine, The Prodigy as Berghain resident, Richie Hawtin meets Slipknot. The pure ecstasy and mechanical precision of techno, enriched with the fresh energy and playfulness of a live band.

9.15 – 10 pm: Ensemble ECetra – reality in lachrimae

With an unusual line-up of zither (Sarah Luisa Wurmer), voice (Eva Kuhn) and electronics (Valentin Penninger), the Ensemble ECetra is always in search of an independent sound. Their program “reality in lachrimae” moves between early and contemporary music and includes songs by John Dowland, live improvisations, and contemporary works by composers from the Munich scene.

10.30 – 11.15 pm: Elysian Ascent – jazz and pop classics

The duo “Elysian Ascent” from Munich surprises audiences with a somewhat unconventional line-up, as the band's only instruments are a bass and the human voice. Julia Fröhlich (vocals) and bassist Eley Ellmer met while studying together, which gave rise to the idea for the duo. Their repertoire includes soulful original compositions, but also some newly interpreted classics from the jazz and pop world.
