Pianisten fra Kosmos Trio, Frede Holger, spiller en solokoncert med egne kompositioner og improvisationer. Med sin baggrund i den anmelderroste Kosmos Trio bevæger han sig frit mellem klassisk, nordisk tonekunst og eksperimenterende klanglandskaber.

Hans musik er kendetegnet ved en særlig evne til at skabe nærvær og fordybelse - hvor enkle melodier gradvist udfolder sig til rige, organiske lyduniverser. Improvisationen spiller en central rolle i koncerten, hvilket gør hver opførelse unik og levende i øjeblikket.
Du kan forvente en stemningsfuld, billedskabende, melodiøs og meditativ koncert, hvor tid og rum synes at opløses, og hvor publikum inviteres ind i et sanseligt og eftertænksomt lydrum.

KOOB er det rebelske debutprojekt fra den unge Berlin-baserede sanger Valeria Dele, som er født i Minsk af belarusiske og etiopiske forældre.

Hendes klangfulde spoken word-vokal bevæger sig mellem det harmologiske ordspil hos Jayne Cortez, funk i stil med Meshell Ndegeocello og nutidige hiphop-eksperimenter. Hun glider konstant ind og ud af forskellige roller og nærmer sig lytteren fra flere perspektiver. Hendes fleksibilitet er forbløffende.
Sammen med nogle af de yngste eksponenter fra Berlins jazzscene groover, kærtegner og forstyrrer KOOB på samme tid.Valeryia Delé - vocals (BY/ET)Seth Sjöström - electric bass (SE)Gabriel Fitros - drums (DE)Wolle - piano (DE)
