"Water and Ice" - Concert with Helene Blum and Harald Haugaard

Reichenau Castle will be transformed into a stage for a concert that combines science, music and inspiration in an incomparable way. Under the title "Living Ice", the evening is dedicated to the topic of glaciers as symbols of the strength and fragility of our planet. From 6:00 p.m., the World Water Library will also be open to concertgoers.

The "Evening of Living Ice" is intended to be a unique experience in which musical performances and scientific storytelling form a symbiotic connection. In Reichenau Castle, home to the World Water Library, the focus is on the glaciers of Switzerland and Greenland, which are addressed both as impressive natural phenomena and as endangered symbols of our time. The performers are made up of outstanding personalities from Nordic folk music and international glaciology. Musical highlights will be provided by Harald Haugaard from Denmark with his band, which presents Danish folk at the highest level. The young, well-known Lucerne violinist Helen Maier will also be a guest.

Renowned representatives in the field of glaciology will also be guests. ETH lecturer Felix Keller from Switzerland brings his passion for sustainable future prospects to the event. Johannes Oerlemans, a world-renowned expert on the dynamics of glaciers from the Netherlands, enriches the programme with scientific findings. Together, these contributors offer an exciting combination of science and music that combines knowledge and emotions in a special way.

Between the musical contributions, the glaciologists take the audience on a journey into the fascinating world of glaciers. Short stories - from historical expeditions to the challenges of climate change - will create the common thread through the evening.

The "liveliness" stands for more than the preservation of the eternal ice. Rather, it is a call to inspiration and motivation: music has the power to move us and work for a positive future.
