Eintauchen

Saxordeon is a project by Belarusian saxophonist Andrej Lakisov (BLR) and Ukrainian accordionist Roman Yusipey. Both have, according to their own words, "eaten some dogs with modern music", demonstrate the power and passion of the saxophone and the accordion and sometimes even merge into one super instrument: the saxordeon! The two musicians found suitable works for the programme among composers from the Berlin scene as well as authors from Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Great Britain, Ukraine and the USA. In addition to my playLyricist and vocal performer Anna Stern will present her new poems for the programme in close cooperation with the artists.
