Julian Sartorius / Percussion

• Other

Percussionist Julian Sartorius finds his own, unusual answers to this question. Instead of playing a drum set on stage, he turns the building into an instrument. Using sticks and mallets, the former drummer for Sophie Hunger elicits a wide variety of sounds from walls and objects during his »soundwalks«.



Julian Sartorius played drums in Sophie Hunger’s band from 2008 to 2010. Hunger has now invited him to be part of her »Reflektor« festival at the Elbphilharmonie with his walkabouts accompanied by sound. Sartorius’s longest soundwalks were through his Swiss homeland and he released them as albums under the title »Hidden Tracks«: for this, Sartorius walked around 270 kilometres from Basel to Geneva and climbed the 4,000-metre-high Weissmies. In contrast, the walk from the Plaza through the foyers of the Elbphilharmonie will be an easy tour – but at least as exciting in terms of sound.

The walks start on the Plaza at the base of the staircase to the Grand Hall. Please note that this event is unfortunately not accessible for people with limited mobility.
