Daniel Libeskind likes to re-define spaces and to disrupt thought patterns – and at the same time he cherishes a great love of music. Reason enough for the Alte Oper Frankfurt to invite the architect and town planner to think freely about the performance of music and concerts. The result is a concert project which will make the entire city echo with the sounds of music for an entire weekend.

24 hours, 18 locations in Frankfurt, 18 dimensions of human life – presented in 75 concerts. In line with the slogan One Day in Life the American architect Daniel Libeskind designed a large-scale project for the Alte Oper Frankfurt which ignores the rules of normal concert performances. It will permit an intensified experience of music and space in which sounds are transported to places that were hardly predestined to serve as venues: Indian raga in an operating theatre, Mozart’s Requiem in a tram depot and Handel’s Water Music in a swimming pool.

The present volume documents the stations and impressions of an intensive concert weekend.
