Just get started …

… that’s one of the important things to do if you want to build resilience, both for yourself and for the people and social systems you live in and with.

That’s why I sat down with my colleague Katja Knoche two weeks ago. She heads the House of Science and is committed to shaping the interface between science, the city, and the region. We brainstormed a few ideas and then simply made an appointment:

Wednesday | November 26, 2025, 1:00 p.m.

House of Science | Villa Sauer, Obergraben 23, 57072 Siegen

I’ll bring my oboe and a few striking texts, and then there will be plenty of room to encounter music and thoughts from very different eras. A journey through time and temporality.

Further information about the event can be found here.

During rehearsals, Patricia Pool’s poetry collection, on which the oboe rests here, is always present. Texts from the collection “Bücher ohne Buchstaben” (Books Without Letters) will be read during the event. It is Patricias first German poetry book. Proud that I have the honor to present it.
