Die Lauschenden is a life-sized bronze sculpture by Karl-Henning Seemann at the entrance to Freiburg University of Music. The sculpture group expresses the theme of music. One figure stands prominently at the entrance with a wide stance, while others appear to move towards the concert hall's brick wall. Those figures appear to listen closely beside the concert hall. Seemann created the work for a competition that sought to shape the entrance area around music. Bronze gives the figures a durable material presence. The arrangement connects the sculpture with the concert hall, placing attentive human forms against its brick architecture. The life-sized scale keeps the figures close to the viewer's own proportions. The entrance placement gives the group a direct relationship with the university building and concert hall. Passersby encounter figures absorbed in listening beside the brick wall. Die Lauschenden belongs to Freiburg im Breisgau's public art landscape at Schwarzwaldstraße 141. Its setting joins the sculpture, architecture and music nearby.
