Kiezsalon

In the vibrant cultural scene of Berlin, the Kiezsalon event series by Digital in Berlin stands out as a platform for unique and captivating musical experiences. For the final Kiezsalon of the year, attendees are in for a treat as the event takes place at the prestigious Akademie der Künste in Tiergarten. The evening promises to be a harmonious blend of diverse talents coming together to create a memorable musical edification.

Uniting Exceptional Voices and Instruments

At the heart of this event are the exceptional vocal prowess of Sofia Jernberg and the mesmerizing cello performances of Judith Hamann. Sofia Jernberg, hailing from Stockholm with a background in jazz, brings a fresh perspective to vocalization with unconventional techniques such as non-verbal vocalisation and toneless singing. Her artistry extends to music theatre and contemporary opera, making her a multifaceted talent in the realm of vocal performance.

Judith Hamann, originally from Melbourne and now based in Berlin, is a cellist known for her boundary-pushing creative practice. Her exploration of electroacoustic music, generative work, and microtonal systems has garnered praise for its humanistic approach to composition. The collaboration between Sofia Jernberg and Judith Hamann, which premiered at the MADEIRADiG Festival, promises a spellbinding encore performance at the Kiezsalon.

A Fusion of Experimental Soundscapes

Joining this dynamic duo are the innovative composer Ben Glas and the contemporary folk performer Sheherazaad. Ben Glas, an experimental composer with a background in Sonic Studies, challenges traditional notions of listening through his ephemeral compositions. His work delves into subjective perception and cognition, utilizing acoustics and psychoacoustics to craft immersive sonic experiences.

Sheherazaad, an American performer with roots in the South Asian diaspora, brings a fusion of Western classical and South Asian sonic influences to her contemporary folk synthesis. Her music, described as alternative folk or experimental ballad, delves into themes of displacement, cultural heritage, and identity, creating a rich tapestry of sounds and storytelling.

Venue Rich in Cultural Heritage

The Akademie der Künste, a cultural institute with a history spanning over three centuries, provides the perfect backdrop for this eclectic musical journey. Located in the Ausstellungshalle 2 at Hanseatenweg 10, Berlin, this architectural gem designed by Werner Düttmann offers a blend of tradition and modernity.
