The piece “Inuksuit” by John Luther Adams is designed to be performed outdoors. Between 9 and 99 drummers explore the sound of a place including its noises, such as wind, water, birds or people. The musicians move as they play, and the audience can move with them or stay in one place to listen to the whole thing. At the premiere in 2009, the audience consisted of just six intrepid people in the pouring rain in the Canadian Rockies. But today, after 15 years and hundreds of performances on five continents, the piece has become an anthem: for people who want to live in greater harmony with nature. For musicians who believe that music can also take place far away from concert stages. And for an audience that finds beauty in the little sounds of everyday life. More than 20 students from the Freiburg, Basel and Bern music academies will play on the grounds of the Freiburg University of Music.

The New York Times called "Inuksuit" "the ultimate environmental piece," while The New Yorker's Alex Ross hailed it as "one of the most exhilarating experiences of my listening life."
