University of Maastricht and Intro In Situ
The Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage (MACCH) is an interdisciplinary research centre that brings together economic, legal, (art) historical, philosophical, sociological and practical expertise to the context of arts and heritage. In response to the demands of the increasingly complex challenges facing the fields of arts and heritage today, MACCH initiates collaborative research projects with researchers, professionals, and students from diverse backgrounds. MACCH is a joint effort of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Law, the School of Business and Economics, the Faculty of Science and Engineering (formerly Faculty of Humanities and Sciences), Tracé Limburgs Samenlevingsarchief and the Conservation Institute SRAL.
As a workshop for contemporary music and sound art, Intro in Situ supports boundary-pushing creators in their development.
Music and (sound) art lovers, chance audiences, (aspiring) musicians and adventurous culture visitors know to find Intro in Situ as the place in the border region between Maastricht (NL), Aachen (DE) and Liège (BE), for a contemporary program of music and sound art: future-oriented sounds with roots in the here and now.
Intro’s workshop is built on equality with an artistic core consisting of artists and focused on innovative music that emerges in this time through artistic research.
The tree in Maastricht is a huge Sequoia, about 23 metres high and with a trunk circumference of over 7 metres. A workshop took place in December 2025 organised by Intro in Situ and Masstricht University. Thank you to Claartje, Maurice, and Jay for organising the event, and everyone who took part.
