Zum feministischen Kampftag: Farida Amadou + Fallwander + Marja Burchard und Simon Popp

Two evenings, full power: with the combo ticket, you can experience both concert evenings on March 6 and 8 on the feminist day of struggle for just €20!

This year, World Women's* Struggle Day falls on a Sunday - a day that stands for solidarity, visibility and self-determination worldwide. We are taking this date as an opportunity for an intimate evening with an experimentally oriented atmosphere that creates space for artistic freedom and diverse forms of expression.

From the many outstanding musicians with whom we are associated, we have selected three acts whose individual styles open up an impressive spectrum: from the most delicate, loving fragility to a powerful, urgent presence. Together they create a sound space that is both emotional and reflective - a space in which there is room for sensitive listening as well as sophisticated musical experience and in which the spirit of World Women's* Struggle Day resonates in a special way.

Farida Amadou

Farida Amadou presents a brand new solo creation - an exploration of improvised textures based on West African rhythm samples, melodic fragments and vocals. Known for her deeply rooted energy in noise and free improvisation, Amadou opens a new chapter, weaving ancestral echoes with radical sonic freedom.

Simon Popp + Marja Burchard

The drummer and composer Simon Popp (Fazer', '9ms', 'Poeji') and the multi-instrumentalist and composer Marja Burchard (Embryo) meet in the wide field between jazz, experimental music, world music and electronic sound research. Popp explores the boundaries between acoustic and electronic sound worlds with polyrhythmic structures and the interplay between earthy and airy sounds. Burchard - leader of Embryo since 2016 - draws on a wide range of instruments (vibraphone, keyboards, percussion, trombone, vocals, etc.) and translates her experience with global rhythms and improvisation into dense, multi-layered compositions. Together, they open up sound spaces that are both fragile and powerful, experimental and reflective. Popp was awarded the 2023 Förderpreis der Landeshauptstadt München and nominated for the 2025 Deutscher Jazzpreis; Burchard received the 2023 Förderpreis Musik der Landeshauptstadt München and the 2024 Sonderpreisder Jury des Hessischen Filmpreises for her film music.

Fallwander

Composer Theresa Zaremba and violinist Teresa Allgaier surround themselves as Fallwander with keys, strings, bows, controllers, sticks and pads. Fallwander is ambient chamber pop without fixed roles. Both their vocals are always just warm enough to keep us from shivering, always just cool enough to keep the air crisp and the view wide. Fallwander is wandering out into the quiet, letting yourself fall into silence.
