Eintauchen-Neue Musik und Lyrikperformance

Saxordeon is a project by Andrej Lakisov and Roman Yusipey, who have eaten many dogs with modern music, demonstrate the power and passion of the saxophone and the accordion and can even merge them into one super instrument. They found everything suitable for it in the composers of the Berlin scene as well as in authors from Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Great Britain, Ukraine and the USA.
The lyricist, musician and visual artist Anna Stern "performs" her own and American poetry alternating with new works for saxophone and accordion. At the end of each set, there will be a joint improvisation with the musicians and the poetry-performer.
