The last Kiezsalon will be in November at Charlottenburg’s nineteenth-century Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. The impressive church is located at Kurfürstendamm, in the centre of the Breitscheidplatz. With almost 6,000 pipes, the organ is not only one of the largest in the city, also one of the most significant works of Karl Schuke.► For our grand finale, we have invited Swedish singer and organist Anna von Hausswolff. She plays our Kiezsalon special as part of her ambitious solo pipe tour across Europe, what she calls a "great experiment", with 17 unique organs for 17 unique concerts in 17 unique venues.
→ Anna von Hausswolff is a musician and composer exploring the myriad of possibilities and the potential for new expressions on the pipe organ. Anna has performed on pipe organs all over the world, as part of this ongoing quest of musical research and discovery. Her polyrhythmic sound is ever-changing and full of contrasts, often distinguished by fluid transitions of calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, with various overlapping elements. Her imaginative approach is open-minded to sonic possibilities and different perceptions, drawing inspiration from wherever it may appear. Watch Anna plays an epic pipe organ in New York:
Please note, the Kiezsalon ticket will include only one Anna von Hausswolff show of 30 minutes. Due to the elaborate production, there will be no second concert/support act.
Last season, our shows sold out quickly, so we recommend securing your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Do not buy second-hand tickets from strangers – there are scammers around. As part of our safety first policy, tickets are only available via Eventbrite. There is no box office or guest list. Due to the pandemic, changes may be made at short notice. In the event of any changes, we will inform you by E-Mail.
The Kiezsalon has offered a forum for innovative musical activity beyond genre boundaries. As an interface between avant-garde, advanced pop music and interdisciplinary art, the series presents compact shows of 30 minutes by artists of diverse genres, origin and status.
Please be aware that format of the event and venue arrangements have been adapted to maximize safety, and we have created a strict Kiezsalon hygiene and safety policy.
The Kiezsalon is a project by Digital in Berlin, curated by Michael Rosen and funded by Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
