Volker Jaekel: Organ, Portativ (portable, medieval organ)
Gert Anklam: Saxophones, Sheng (Chinese mouth organ)            

The Berlin musicians span a wide arc in their program from early music to jazz, connecting our different musical influences. Unusual arrangements of old chorales resonate, along with original compositions influenced by collaboration with musicians from other cultures, orchestral soundscapes on the organ, and captivating improvisations. In the concert, they also perform with two small and rare organs. These include the Chinese mouth organ Sheng and the medieval Portativ.

In their repertoire, they have arrangements of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Edward Grieg, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Steve Lacy, Astor Piazzolla, and others. 

An exciting musical journey through different times and styles.

“A dreamy fusion of organ sound and saxophone, beyond common clichés, a musical journey through the world to oneself.”
