OREKA TX ON OCTOBER 24 AT THE LERNWERK
Magical soundscapes made of wood and stone
Oreka TX breathes new life into the txalaparta. The percussion instrument consists of long sound boards that rest on trestles. The special feature: Oreka TX experiments with bamboo, stone, metal and even ice. Each material brings a new narrative to life, each performance opens up different acoustic spaces - their concerts are masterpieces of wood, stone and animated power.
Together with their ensemble, Harkaitz Martínez de San Vicente and Mikel Ugarte transform the Txalaparta into an instrument of dialog: contemporary composition and regional sound language meet a global perspective. At the Münsterland Festival, Oreka TX creates a musical portrait of Basque culture in the LernWerk - raw, honest and deeply rooted.

THE VENUE: LERNWERK
The former Herding spinning mill building combines industrial architecture and cutting-edge architecture: the elaborate conversion preserved the striking clinker brick façades and added a seemingly floating studio cube. Since its reopening in 2024, the LernWerk has been a central location for education and culture in Bocholt. It houses various municipal and cultural institutions, such as the local music school and studios for the independent cultural scene.
