Birds On A Wire

In the organizer's words:

Birds On A Wire in Berlin for exclusive show in October

When the French-American singer Rosemary Standley - who previously played with Moriarty - and the French-Brazilian cellist Dom La Nena met for the first time, their musical collaboration was originally planned exclusively for a series of concerts at the Cité de la Musique in Paris.

But the two artists not only got on brilliantly right from the start due to their common roots and respective classical training - Standley's captivating voice and La Nena's breathtaking cello playing also harmonized with each other in a very special way from the very first second.

Together, the duo began to reinterpret song classics beyond the initial series of events. Inspired by Leonard Cohen's "Birds On The Wire", the two began releasing cover versions as Birds on a Wire - and were immediately well received.

Their self-titled debut album was released in this style back in 2014, which reinterpreted songs from the two musicians' childhood as well as baroque classics and Latin American folk songs.
Six years later, the musical palette was broadened on the second album "Ramages" (2020). Classics were joined by songs by Pink Floyd, Violeta Parra, Jacques Brel and others, which expanded the sound variation of Birds on a Wire and added a stormy facet to the gentle, urgent side - a facet that suits the duo very well.

After a special collaboration with the Louvre in Paris, in which Birds on a Wire created an immersive musical journey through the famous museum and enriched the audience with their engaging live performance, the third album is now in the starting blocks.

"Nuées ardentes" will be released on October 3 and will also take on well-known pop and rock songs for the first time. From Bronski Beat to The Cure and The Doors, iconic songs will be given a new twist by the two musicians.

The concert will be presented by MusikBlog.de.
