7 & 9 PM
Short Guided Tours (in German): In the Shadow of History – Night Figures at the Monument to the Battle of the Nations
As soon as the monument is plunged into darkness, its night figures awaken – including stone sentinels and colossal figures. Alongside these protagonists, the tour also explores the long shadows cast by the Battle of the Nations and the monument’s history. Entering hidden chambers is unavoidable.

8 & 10 PM
Monumental Vocal Worlds – Stemmeklang (Norway)
The vocal quintet Stemmeklang has long worked with site-specific music and acoustics. This evening, the five Norwegian women will take us on a very special sonic journey. The goal: to elicit a unique blend of voices and harmonies from the domed hall of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.

STEMMEKLANG: Kristin Bolstad, Linnéa Sundfær Casserly, Karoline Dahl Gullberg, Julie Kleive and Gabrielle Sørensen.
