About this Event

This September, the Kiezsalon returns to the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Dahlem, set surrounded by lush greenery. Under the early autumn sun, we present Scottish guitar veteran Richard Youngs, US sound artist C. Lavender and Canadian violinist Jessica Moss.

Born in Cambridge and based in Glasgow, Richard Youngs has been active in the UK underground for more than 40 years, his diverse and prolific output defying any definitive discography. Primarily recognised as a solo artist and writer of extended songs, he is also an active cross-genre collaborator. In 2021, The Quietus said that he “has an uncanny ability to take a goofy idea and make durable, fascinating work out of it.” Reviewing his 2025 album , HHV wrote: “Richard Youngs’ music seems simple until one realises how profoundly it plays with perception.”

C. Lavender (Lavender Suarez) is a sound artist, sound healing practitioner and educator based in New York City. Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice known as chöd, her 2024 album was named by A Closer Listen as one of its top 10 drone releases of 2024, saying: “This is a record understated in its quality, timeless in its style.” She is the author of , an artist’s workbook that explores how listening can spark creativity, foster self-awareness and cultivate mindfulness.

Violinist and occasional vocalist Jessica Moss is an integral part of the Montréal underground and independent music scene, she’s best known as a permanent member of Silver Mt Zion. Her latest solo record, is inspired by industrial music, metal, drone and classical minimalism, Moss creates a tense, simmering atmosphere, assisted by Necks drummer Tony Buck.KLOF noted that on the album “she dives deeper than ever into the world of drone and longform ambient soundscapes.”

The Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Dahlem focuses on the everyday life and cultural diversity of European societies. Established in 1999, the museum is part of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Its exhibitions showcase folk art, traditions and contemporary cultural practices, with a collection spanning textiles, photography and everyday objects. The Kiezsalon invites you to wander through the Museum's halls and enjoy live music in their garden.
