what is detect?
Originating from the idea of being a platform for inspiring and unconventional musical experiences, Detect today consists of various music culture projects - first and foremost the Detect Classic Festival, which is organised together with the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Other formats include the Detect Landpartie, the Detect Classic Sessions and a music residency programme in northern Germany. We realise our projects together with the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as with kfka (Switzerland) and Ein Ding der Möglichkeit (Wendland).
