An evening that resonates deep within
With the concert Into the Depths, the ArtWerkHalle3 opens an extraordinary live experience in Duisburg-Wanheimerort on May 16, 2026, featuring a blend of contemporary works and early music. At the center is the Oktobass, an instrument about four meters tall with an extremely deep sound, played for the first time in NRW by Christof Weinig. Together with the Neander Viol Consort, Hildegard Schuhenn-Weinig, and Patrick Hengst, a concert experience emerges that focuses on rarity, precision, and spatial effects. Admission costs 15 euros, with performances from 18:00 to 22:00. ([rheingold-brauerei.de](https://rheingold-brauerei.de/eventdetails/konzert-in-die-tiefe-kunstwerkhalle3/))
A sound body that transforms the space
The Oktobass is not an ordinary concert instrument but an event in itself: it produces extremely deep tones and acoustically reshapes the hall. Especially in an event hall like the Handwerkerhof Wanheimerort, this depth unfolds its full effect, as the sound becomes not only audible but physically tangible. The interplay with viol sounds, flute instruments, and percussion promises a carefully balanced orchestration between historical color and modern tension.

Between early music and the present
The program relies on contrasts that are particularly strong in live performance: early music meets contemporary works, and the synchronization of the participating musicians creates a dense, almost chamber music-like intensity. Anyone thinking of a pure niche format with this preliminary report underestimates the radiance of such encounters. The allure of the evening lies precisely there: in the connection of historical sound language, experimental instrumentation, and immediate audience atmosphere.

The ArtWerkHalle3 as a cultural resonance space
The concert is part of the cultural festival ArtWerkHalle3, which takes place from May 8 to June 28, 2026, in Duisburg-Wanheimerort. The Handwerkerhof Wanheimerort is centrally located in Duisburg, offers commercial spaces and parking, and is directly connected to the port and highway. For visitors, this means: a well-accessible place for an evening that consciously takes place outside the usual and therefore remains memorable.
