MKSM: ACOUSTIC PRIDE

In the organizer's words:

Germany's most-booked CSD act opens the BKA PRIDE MONTH: a safe space in pop guise!

MKSM - singer, songwriter, violinist and activist with Russian-Ukrainian roots - looks back on a special year 2025: his biggest Pride tour to date, appearances on Deutschlandfunk Kultur and at the Hamburg State Opera as well as his appointment as the first ambassador of the German Stuttering and Self-Help Association.

For his AKUSTIK CONCERT at the BKA Theater, the artist will be performing the songs from his first German-language EP - a touching mix of acoustic pop, sensitive arrangements and personal stories from the queer late repatriate.

A PRIDE MONTH opening carried by gripping lyrics and accompanied by violin, grand piano and guitar. Come as you are - HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
