The Moser Building, opened in 1910, forms the historic core of the Kunsthaus Zürich. Today it houses significant artworks from eight centuries – from medieval icons to modern classics through internationally renowned paintings and sculptures, such as works by Monet, van Gogh, Munch, Picasso, Warhol – with the specific selection varying depending on the current exhibition. At the walking concert in the Kunsthaus Zürich, our musicians perform in changing formations throughout the various rooms in the Moser Building. The musical programme takes up the visual expression of the displayed works and mirrors it musically. During the walking concert, the audience moves freely between the exhibition rooms outside regular opening hours. It wanders between epochs and experiences a wonderful and unique connection between music and art that will resonate for a long time to come.
