Where Music Became Color

On May 18, 2026, during a church concert at St. Jakob Parish Church in Dachau, a work of art was created live in dialogue with organ, trumpet, and soprano.

An Evening of Music and Color

What began as an idea became reality that evening: music, color, and atmosphere came together in one shared moment.

As the sounds filled the church space, a painting emerged layer by layer, shaped by light, movement, and the impressions of the moment. The live painting was part of a benefit evening in support of Löwenkinder Dachau. The resulting artwork was auctioned afterwards.

Impressions of a Special Evening

The connection between music and painting opens a space in which art can emerge directly in the moment. For me, it was a very special experience to paint in front of an audience and to connect the creative process directly with the sounds of the concert. The positive response from the visitors, the many conversations after the concert, and the shared support of a good cause made this evening truly special.
