The three musicians of the ensemble Perismon contextualize sounds from the Mongolian, Persian, and Jewish cultural spheres. Universal aspects of human togetherness resonate in works about longing and happiness, celebration and dancing, as well as dreams and melancholy. Love songs are also part of the repertoire. On violin, the Mongolian instruments Shudraga and horsehead fiddle, as well as harp, Hagit Halaf, Enkhtuya Jambaldorj, and Samira Memarzadeh showcase the variety of string instruments – from delicate to powerful, from improvised to polyphonic.

The wonderful world of the accordion
Solo Vassily Dück

Schifferklavier. Quetschkommode. Schweineorgel. There are many, more or less friendly names for the accordion. What they all have in common is that there is often a hint of disdain because many do not take the accordion seriously.
Vassily Dück has dedicated himself to his hand-drawn instrument body and soul. “I want to present the accordion as one of the most versatile musical instruments out there,” says the musician born in Siberia. He will do this solo, completely without companions, but with an arsenal of different keyboard and button variants of his favorite sound generator, as can be easily seen in the photo.
With great joy, Dück will set out to break the clichés he constantly faces. Associating the bellows solely with folk music is far too one-dimensional. “On one hand, there is a lot of traditional music for the accordion that is beautiful, but the instrument also offers so many possibilities to discover and try out other things and much new,” Dück promises a stylistically diverse repertoire with pieces from genres such as world music, pop, and classical.
“I will also play a few of my own compositions like 'Orient Waltz' or 'Old Car Blues', something poppy like Stevie Wonder’s 'Sir Duke', and jazzy tunes like 'Spain' by Chick Corea, tangos by Astor Piazzolla, as well as classical pieces by Bach and Vivaldi, and of course traditional French and Russian music.” Dück’s adventurous spirit goes as far as to not shy away from showing off a few hard "AC/DC" sequences. “That also fits my soul,” Dück says with a laugh.
