sozialpalast Berlin - Berlijn

Musicians from the Netherlands visit musicians in Berlin on three evenings this autumn. Their meeting place is the small music room of the Sozialpalast, in Berlin’s trendy Prenzlauer Berg. This is where music is played and sung, and where people congregate to chat and drink.

During the performances, the audience sits in the media arts café (MAC) Berlijn in Enschede. Via a video live stream, the music will be projected from Berlin onto a large screen in Enschede. The musicians in Berlin can not see the audience, but they can hear it: the sounds from the hall in Enschede are transmitted back to Berlin.

A German/Dutch arts project with lots of music! Presentation: Desiree Klaeukens and Michiel van Meurs (Berlin). From 21.00, free admission. Where? Mac Berlijn, Stationsplein 1, 7511 JD Enschede opposite Enschede Central Station

Saturday26 November, Gisbert zu Knyphausen (Berlin) ++ Chickewally’s Fanfare (Enschede)
Gisbert zu Knyphausen from Berlin is a traditional liedermacher but is also represents the new generation of singer/songwriters. Combining the earnestness of Herman van Veen and the coolness of .. yes, of whom actually? There’s nobody cooler than him. About Chickewally’s Fanfare from Enschede: Like a painting I try to find my own DNA but of course you find music on your way that influences you, or that is similar to what you think is your own DNA. Cocorosie in many ways opened my eyes (but I do not try to be like them) and from there many, many other things…
