The concert 'Contes d'hiver' by the Amabilis Orchestra is accompanied by live drawings from visual artist Christina Benz. The strict formality of classical music is gently disrupted by sketch-like, intuitive lines, opening up new spaces for interpretation.

Location-specific live performance, about 20 minutes
Nicole Johänntgen responds to Christina Benz's drawings with her saxophone and vice versa. Both artists improvise, allowing themselves to be mutually inspired and driven, guided by the atmosphere in the room. In this creative exchange, associative image and sound worlds emerge – it’s a poetic moment uniquely connected to the place and time to be shared with the attending audience.
