BERLIN - Kiezsalon Finale at Collegium Hungaricum 5+6 November | Upcoming shows in Berlin

 

View in browser ­ Dear friends and music lovers,   In two weeks, we return to the Collegium Hungaricum, this time for an intimate mid-week Kiezsalon season finale. On Wednesday, 5 November, we present KUUNATIC, Leslie García, Szilvia Bognár, continuing on Thursday with vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita, flutist Róbert Kerényi and instrument maker Thorn Wych. For the spontaneous, join us tomorrow night at Schöne Töne Livewith Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin feat. Abul Mogard, Carolina Eyck and Daníel Bjarnason at Haus des Rundfunks. Book your Ticket Masayoshi Fujita Thursday, 6. November Japanese vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita blends ambient, jazz and electronic influences. Having released three solo vibraphone albums between 2013 and 2018, he switched focus to marimba on his 2021 album Bird Ambience.    Inspired by bird migrations and his own move from Berlin back to Japan, his 2024 album Migratory, released on Erased Tapes, incorporated field recordings and, according to Pitchfork, traversed “lush and sparse terrain, equally likely to illustrate a placid lake or a sun-soaked field as a jagged mountain or arid badlands.” Listen Thorn Wych Thursday, 6. November Lancashire-based musician Thorn Wych crafts her own instruments from native UK tree branches. Her pieces feature bowed string instruments, flutes and percussion, which she manipulates through pitch-bending glitches and delay pedals to create music that evokes memories of a world existing beyond the boundaries of the material realm.   She released her debut album Aesthesis last year, with Foxy Digitalis noting that: “Distorted drones undulate beneath entrancing incantations as though primeval spells are being conjured and future pathways moulded.” She makes her Berlin debut at the Kiezsalon. Listen Róbert Kerényi Wednesday, 5 November Budapest-born musician Róbert Kerényi ‘Szigony’ led the band Tatros from 1988 to 1997 and has since gone on to form the Szigony Orchestra. He has played a key role in popularising Hungarian gyimes and Moldavian csángó music and dances, collecting folk tunes from traditional masters in these regions and learning to play traditional instruments.   Szigony has collaborated with musicians including the Muzsikás ensemble, saxophonist Mihály Dresch and singer Ági Szalóki. Watch his live solo performance at Magyar Zene Háza.
