Part of the rainy days 2025 on -
Today’s music is overly intellectual? The 2025 festival rainy days grabs this cliché by the throat, choosing «bodies» as its theme. Bodies and physicality have always interested the arts. Especially in music, the subject is ambiguous, the idea that the body cannot do without spirit, nor the spirit without the body, more than a bon mot. The multitude of approaches to the body and bodies is reflected in the festival’s programme, once again designed for diehard fans of contemporary music and those who are simply curious alike, offering something for almost all age groups.

The Last of Their Kin(d) marks the restart of Trio Accanto

with their new pianist, Stefan Wirth. Together with Katinka Deecke, he has developed a songbook about endangered animals, enhanced with a video by Georg Lendorff. In a series of short compositions, ten composers will give a voice to the different species. The contrasting life-worlds of the animals are reflected in the very different aesthetic standpoints of the composers.


The works by Georges Aperghis, Annesley Black, Dahae Boo, Elnaz Seyedi, and Eric Wubbels were commissioned by Trio Accanto, funded by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

The works by Cécile Marti, Nik Bärtsch, Nadir Vassena, Ezko Kikoutchi, and Lilian Beidler were commissioned by Trio Accent, funded by Pro Helvetia and the Fondation Suisa.
