Historischer Tanzball | zamus: early music festival 2026

In the organizer's words:

Cast:
Martin Erhardt - musical direction
Mareike Greb - dance, choreography
zamus: impro lab Ensemble

No question: dancing is fun. The great success of Marathon last year proved that a baroque dance ball can inspire many people. That's why Martin Erhardt, an expert in historical improvisation, and dance master Mareike Greb invite you to join in again this time. The zamus: impro lab ensemble performs rousing historical dances for couples and group formations. The zamus: impro lab is an open laboratory for early music musicians in which improvisation is explored and tested as a creative bridge between historical performance practice and free, contemporary music-making.

Pieces and improvisations developed as part of the zamus:impro lab.

Baroque dance workshop with live music as part of the zamus:early music marathon.

Day ticket marathon 35/25€
