Lab der Musik

Last concert of the season, and what a way to close it!

Ottodix brought Italian experimental electronic to the Lab, along with their strong political and environmental stance 💪🏽

Thanks for an amazing season, guys!

Longest day, biggest excuse to celebrate, we’re celebrating Fête de la Musique at Lab der Musik on June 21 from 16:00 onwards, open air, with music carrying through every corner of the place.

Bring your friend, let’s celebrate music together!

Free entry.

The Lab at its best: warm room, brilliant artists, a Sunday that earned it!

Arianna Manganello — mezzo-soprano, Deutsche Oper Berlin — and Elda Laro — pianist, conductor, Berliner Philharmonie — brought something warm and unhurried into our space. (Also, they didn’t forget to aura farm)

Getting closer to the end of the season, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the music, the people, and everything in between. ☺️

Last night at Oblomov, people!

Luca was back, and this time he brought Elene on drums and Thomas on guitar. Cecilia, you already know.

Garlajazz and his Swingers brought the swing, you brought the energy, and the floor took care of the rest. A space full of people who knew what to do with their feet.

Great to be back!

Young, precise, and already very hard to ignore.

The Exira Quartet came to the Lab for a Classic Series concert: four young players from Turkey, Lebanon, and Russia, bringing the classical canon and the musical cultures they come from into the same conversation.

Formed in Berlin in 2025, they’re still early in their path, and already there’s something quietly remarkable about how they play together. One of them, Alpay, is now part of the Lab family as a tutor!

We’re glad they found the Lab.

Ottodix has spent over twenty years building a practice that doesn’t fit a single category: electronic music, multimedia installations, concept albums, performances inside museums and biennials.

Behind the name is Alessandro Zannier, artist, musician, writer, who has collaborated with artists connected to Massive Attack, Subsonica and Bluvertigo, and exhibited alongside Ai Weiwei and Maurizio Cattelan.

His new album Cerebro Mundi starts in the amygdala, where fear and aggression live, and ends with the damage they do at planetary scale.

On 13 June, he performs it at Lab, close range.

🎟️ Limited capacity

A tenor walks into a room with a gramophone and a story to tell.

My Pappou’s Gramophone is Costa Latsos tracing his own musical journey out loud: from Sydney to Bologna to Berlin, through Italian song, operetta, and opera. Intimate, personal, and performed close.

At the piano: Francesca Rambaldi, a familiar face in the Lab, and the kind of collaborator who makes a recital feel like a conversation.

Only at Lab!

He’s been here before. Turns out once wasn’t enough.

Last year, Luca Garlaschelli brought his Musikorchestra to Oblomov and filled the room with something between jazz and theatre. This time he’s back. Same venue, different shape. Leaner, swingier, and ready to move.

Garlajazz and his Swingers is a quartet: bass, guitar, drums, violin, and Luca’s voice out front. The repertoire runs from the American swing songbook of the 30s and 40s into the warmer territory of Italian and Latin song: Besame Mucho, Historia de un Amor, Guarda che luna. All played in the spirit of Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday. Music that knows what a dancefloor is for.

They’ve been running Lindy Hop nights at the best swing venues in Italy for years. If your feet already know what to do, this is your evening. If they don’t yet, they’ll figure it out.

Don’t miss!
