Fascination Bonsai
For the Long Night of Zurich Museums, the entrance hall at Toni will be transformed into a Japanese world. Experience selected miniature trees and suisekis from the Swiss Bonsai and Suiseki Friends Association and its affiliated clubs, Japanese art and handicrafts as well as ikebana arrangements.
Ikebana – friendship through flowers
In cooperation with the non-profit organization Ikebana International (I.I.), we will be showing various Ikebana arrangements exclusively at the Long Night. In Ikebana, flowers and branches are artfully arranged in vases and bowls, which has not only aesthetic but also spiritual value. The term Ikebana literally means “living flowers”.
Mehrspur
Finals 24 – On this evening, the 2024 diploma concerts of the ZHdK jazz degree programs will take place!
The concerts represent the contemporary exploration and personalities of an emerging generation of musicians. Whether jazz, pop or alternative rock, onomatopoeic soundscapes, groovy soul, free improvisation or dialect folk, large ensembles or solo: the students write their own music, put together their bands and stage their performances. The result is top-class artistic concerts by new acts with fresh, previously unheard music.
Showdown
Showdown (table ball) is a game for blind and visually impaired people that is similar to ping-pong. The aim is to shoot the clearly audible ball into the other person’s goal or to defend your own with a bat.
We would like to thank the blindekuh foundation for this part of the program.

Exhibition
Concert: Resonant sculptures eaten by the past
Noémi Büchi (*1991, Zurich) is a Swiss-French composer and multimedia artist who creates and explores the potential of cross-genre musical structures. Her music is characterized by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electro-acoustic-orchestral abstraction. She contrasts rhythmic physicality with interruptions and playfully emphasizes irregularities to create an expansive listening experience characterized by details and elevations.
