In Between Spaces: Kamilya Jubran & Werner Hasler | Joss Turnbull & Philip Zoubek

Der VVK ist beendet. Es sind noch ausreichend Tickets an der Abendkasse erhältlich.

European enthusiasm for pop music and club sounds from the Middle East has been unbroken for several years. Under the title "IN BETWEEN SPACES: INDIE IDIOSYNCRACIES", musician and curator Thomas Gläßer organizes a music and discourse event lasting several days in dialogue with the Egyptian-Algerian producer and music manager Sarah El Miniaway, which takes a closer look at the idiosyncratic hybridizations between Arab and Western music that have emerged in recent decades in the alternative music scenes of many Arab cities. The festival sets three highlights in the Stadtgarten concert hall and the newly opened club "Jaki", the converted Studio 672 in the Stadtgarten, which above all illuminate the musical phenomena themselves.

The first spot focuses on global contemporary music, as presented by the duo of Israeli-Palestinian singer and oud player Kamilya Jubran and Swiss trumpeter and electronics technician Werner Hasler. The German musicians Joss Turnbull and Philip Zoubek deal with elements of Arabic and Persian music from an experimental perspective, so to speak in the opposite direction. What the musicians* share in common is the expansion of their musical possibilities in the encounter of different musical idioms and the development of new material.
