Jazz meets technology - pure excitement!

The official contribution of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences to the 6th Zittau Culture Night was a great success.

Jazz meets technology in the high-voltage hall! Based on the positive feedback from the 5th Zittau Culture Night last year, the 6th Zittau Culture Night on October 29 featured two fascinating performances by the Mandau Quartet with guest performer Nico Rotter and the experiments carried out, filling the high-voltage hall to the last seat.

Based on a targeted composition of the musical performance, the experiments carried out fitted into the program so that the art of jazz and the "art of electrons" complemented and inspired each other.

Skilfully staged with spotlights, the high-voltage hall showed an almost glamorous side that evening. Halloween even made an appearance during the final experiment. At this point at the latest, it became clear how much enthusiasm the performers had put into preparing the HSZG's contribution to the 6th Zittau Culture Night.

The event was hosted by Prof. Stefan Kornhuber, Head of the Department of High Voltage Technology. He was supported by his colleague Mr. Rüdiger Cervinka. The numerous interested visitors were able to experience the technology, the music and the experiments in various colorful facets in two runs.
