From October 2 to 5, 2025, Graz once again became a center of contemporary and experimental music with the ORF musikprotokoll. Under the motto “regel:bruch” (“breaking rules”), the festival explored how music can challenge established orders and open up new ways of listening – from immersive sound spaces and orchestral works to string quartets and performative formats.

Our photo gallery captures 25 moments from these four intense days – impressions between sound, space, and encounter.
