FWD - Kiezsalon is back! Season starts in May with a 2 day happening with 4 concerts, including 3 premieres at Zionskirche

 


Kiezsalon 2022
 
Dear friends and music lovers,
We are back! The Kiezsalon season begins with a 2-day happening featuring 4 concerts, including 3 premieres, at the historic Zionskirche between Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg.
 
The church, inaugurated in 1873, was built on a 52-meter high vineyard, and is one of the highest points in Berlin. Its 67-meter tower offers panoramic city views and its gardens are ideal for lingering before and after the concerts with a glass of wine — especially on a warm spring evening.

Friday starts with two Berlin premieres. Jason Sharp, saxophonist, electroacoustic composer and mainstay of Montreal’s avant-jazz and experimental music scene, will present his third album on the Constellation label.
 
Followed by Catalonian folk duo Tarta Relena, whose progressive and emotive take on Gregorian folk has been lauded by our friends at Pitchfork ("with little more than their two voices, Helena Ros and Marta Torrella connect the far corners of the Mediterranean"); check out their great performance at Eurosonic 2021.

On Saturday, one of our all-time favourite musicians — much-loved by the editors at The Wire too — legendary British composer Richard Skelton will perform his poignant landscape-inspired works. Listen to his masterpiece The Complete Landings.
 
Alongside will be New York flutist Ka Baird (Drag City, RVNG Intl.), who is known for her raw, ecstatic, and boundary-pushing live performances — described as “a basic human act turned into kaleidoscopic constellations of sound” by Resident Advisor.
 
The site of the Zionskirche on a five-cornered plaza at the intersection of 3 streets was so important to architect August Orth that he opted not to put the choir in its usual position towards the east.

Last but not least: After 7 successful days, we are happy to invite you tomorrow to the finnisage of the interactive concert installation Myriad II by composer Rebecca Saunders this Saturday at Radialsystem.
 
With the code POLVB you can get the ticket for 10 instead of 15 Euro. Do not miss the last chance to see and hear these unique pieces, and join us afterwards for some of our favourite Kiezsalon wines at our sunny Spreeside pop up bar.

Stay safe,
Michael Rosen & team
