When sound becomes a boundary experience: VAGUES in the workshop
On September 20, 2026, the Cologne trio VAGUES brings its electroacoustic improvisation to the workshop in Gelsenkirchen. The ensemble featuring Zuzana Leharová, Eva Pöpplein, and Hanna Schörken shapes an intense concert experience from violin, electronics, and voice, navigating between fragility, resonance, and eruptive energy. The city of Gelsenkirchen states the start time is 7:30 PM; the venue is the workshop at Hagenstraße 34.

Sound between control and loss of control
VAGUES works with open forms, extended playing techniques, and spontaneous interactions. Analog and digital sound spaces intertwine with vocal textures and prepared violin sounds to create an organic structure that constantly reinvents itself. This combination of microtonal movements, rhythmic consolidations, and atmospheric layers makes the evening exciting for listeners seeking a live atmosphere that is not merely decoration, but a movement of exploration.

Workshop atmosphere close to the musical process
The workshop usually announces a fixed entry price of 10 or 15 euros for concerts; for VAGUES, the event calendar specifically states 15 euros, 10 euros for club members, and 5 euros reduced. Additionally, there is the intimate club atmosphere of the venue, which opens about half an hour before the event begins. It is precisely here that experimental music unfolds its strongest effect: close, direct, and without distance between stage and audience. ([werkstatt-ev.de](https://www.werkstatt-ev.de/ihr-besuch/))
A trio with experience in contemporary music
The three musicians combine many years of practice in contemporary music, improvisation, and interdisciplinary contexts. This lends special authority to the concert: Here, precise listening, a willingness to take sonic risks, and a keen sense of musical dramaturgy come together. The result is not an easily consumable program, but a concentrated live experience with high intensity and its own signature.

Anticipation for an evening full of tension
Those who engage with VAGUES will not experience a conventional concert, but a sonic expedition with surprising twists and a dense atmosphere from the audience. The workshop provides the perfect framework for this: close to the action, musically open, and perfect for a set that consciously eludes the unequivocal. A must for all who want to experience contemporary music, improvisation, and extraordinary concert moments live.
