An exciting musical journey through different times and styles

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

The Berlin musicians span a wide program through the ages from early music to jazz, impressively connecting their diverse musical influences. Unusual arrangements of old chorales, original compositions influenced by collaborations with musicians from different cultures, orchestral soundscapes on the organ, as well as captivating improvisations can be heard.

In the concert, they also play two small and rare organ instruments: the Chinese mouth organ Sheng and the medieval Portative.

Their repertoire includes arrangements of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Edvard Grieg, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Steve Lacy, Astor Piazzolla, and other composers.

The entertaining and amusing concert is personally moderated by the two Berlin musicians. Vibrant, unexpected, and surprising – an extraordinary concert evening and an exciting musical journey far from common organ clichés!

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