Initiated in 2010 with the generous support of the association of Sponsors and Friends of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, the event series "Werkstattkonzerte", which is realised in cooperation with the University of Music and Performing Arts of Munich, has become a fixture in the calendar of events of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek by now. The unique holdings of the Music Department are outstanding cultural goods and are a magnet not only for scholars and researchers, but also for laymen interested in culture. The concerts create an opportunity to present them publicly, make them come to life and to make the value of the collection immediately tangible.

The workshop concerts do not present the music on its own, though, but serve to make spheres of life, biographies, milieus, cultural areas tangible and make them resound. This sensualisation is of course not accomplished by the music interpretations alone. The music is embedded in a context of recitation (example: "Immer Dein alter Reger") or presentation ("Facets of the dulcimer"). It is presented within the framework of a multimedia production ("Jazz in the light") or is flanked by a panel discussion with contemporary witnesses (project island Hartmann – Henze) or is even showcased in the form of a chamber music theatre performance, as developed and realised exclusively for this series as a unique project titled "Silentium" together with the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding. The creative scope for design of such a workshop concert is thus unlimited, at least from an artistic point of view.

Each concert is accompanied by the opening of a cabinet presentation in the hallway to the Reading Room for Music/Maps/Images, presenting historical sources from the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, in tune with the respective topic of the concert event.

One important institutional collection mandate of the Department of Music of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek is directed at the artistic and biographical sources of composers and musicians from Bavaria. While the "Workshop Concerts" in cooperation with the University of Music and Performing Arts of Munich stage rarely heard or even forgotten compositions from our collections and personal papers, thus reviving musical history by making it resound, the focus of the "(d#)sonanzen" concert series is not on history, historical importance or marginalia, but on offering an experience of contemporary music and music culture. In cooperation with the associations of musical artists Tonkünstlerverband Bayern e.V. and Tonkünstler München e.V., such materials are made audible that have not yet become "history", thereby eluding our historical assessment and selection. This requires some degree of openness and confidence on the part of the listener to venture out on mostly unknown paths. The reward is a stimulating, intensive experience that ideally puts our aesthetic inertia and habits at risk in an exciting way.

10 May 2023
The concert was titled "Munich – Augsburg – Würzburg: Composition teachers at colleges and conservatories". Four piano trios by four Bavarian composition teachers of different generations were performed: Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Günter Bialas, Richard Heller and Bertold Hummel. The musicians were Eva Schieferstein (piano), Mario Korunić (violin) and Philipp von Morgen (violoncello).

27 October 2021
The motto of the concert on 27 October was: "100 years of dodecaphonism: The aftermath of the Second Viennese School in Bavaria". Works by Arnold Schönberg, Wolfgang Fortner, Fritz Büchtger, Volker Nickel, Wilhelm Killmayer, Dieter Schnebel, Johannes X. Schachtner, Helmut Lachenmann and Philippe Schick were played. The performers were Katerina Giannitsioti (violoncello), Brigitte Helbig (piano) and Andreas Skouras (piano).
Preliminary report ("A school for slack ears") in the Forum Musikbibliothek 41 | 2020 | Issue 2

08 May 2019
The concert on 8 May brought works by four generations of composers living in Bavaria to the listeners’ ears: "Skin" for string quartet by Katharina Schmauder (dedicated to Gloria Coates), "No one" for string quartet by Isabel Mundry, "EOS" for flute and alto flute by Dorothee Eberhardt and "Tuning to" (for two flutists), as well as a movement from the "String Quartet No. 9" (b) by Gloria Coates. The pieces were played by the Centaur Quartet (Katharina Schmauder, Annette Fritz, Marc Kaufmann and Caio de Azevedo) and the flutist duo Elisabeth Weinzierl & Edmund Wächter.

With "The Murmuring Breezes by Adolf Jensen", a new series of cabinet presentations in the hallway in front of the Reading Room for Music/Maps/Images was started in July 2009, titled "Music treasures of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek". Since this time, the Music Department has presented treasures from its rich collection at irregular intervals, topically grouped and with expert annotation. Also a number of larger exhibition projects have been organised, for example "Max Reger – Accordarbeiter" ("Max Reger – Piece worker") in 2011, "Richard Wagner – Die Münchner Zeit (1864 – 1865)" ("Richard Wagner – The time in Munich") two years later, and finally the exhibition "Musikalische Schätze der Renaissance – Handschriften und Drucke mit Werken Cipriano de Rores" ("Musical treasures of the Renaissance – Manuscripts and prints of works of Cipriano de Rore") in 2014. The particularly valuable exhibits were shown in the library's treasure vault (Schatzkammer) and in the hallway in front of the Reading Room for Manuscripts and Rare Books in all three projects. The chronology of presentations and exhibitions likewise encompasses occasional cooperative projects ("Richard Strauss" in 2009, "Max Reger" in 2011) or guest exhibitions ("75 years Carmina Burana" in 2012).

The connection of the cabinet presentations with the workshop concerts represents a particular feature. In tune with the topic of the individual concert event, accompanying historical sources from the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek are shown in the hallway in front of the Reading Room for Music/Maps/Images for the duration of the presentation.
