Round Midnight

In the organizer's words:

We call ourselves "Sassy & Unscripted", and our music is just that - cheeky and improvised. Sassy and Unscripted combines classical music, jazz, chanson and world music to create a varied, lively program. From Rachmaninoff to tangos, chansons to original compositions, jazz standards and modern Chinese folk music, the ensemble spans a colorful arc - always with a lot of improvisation, in their own arrangements with a cheeky wink.

With emotional intensity, playful spontaneity and strong solo moments, Sassy and Unscripted invites you to an evening that charmingly ignores genre boundaries and celebrates music in all its facets.

Natalie Wüstneck (The real blonde) underwent classical training on the piano and violin before discovering classical singing and later jazz singing. Her training includes master classes at the Orchestra da Camera della Sardegna, Italy and the International Music Academy Anton Rubinstein as well as prizes at the composition competition "Jugend Komponiert". After solo concerts in the Jianghu Jazz Bar, Beijing China and the Xian Jazz Bar, Tianjin China, she is now looking forward to singing again in Berlin in a new formation.

Whether as a pianist, composer or band member: Paul Herfort tries to see music in a networked way. His classical piano training was followed by training on the saxophone. When asked how many instruments he plays in reality, he would answer with an embarrassed giggle and a yes. With a synesthesia-enhanced imagination and interdisciplinary inspiration, he always tries to think from the listener's perspective when composing and playing. Pretty much all music makes people feel emotions. Music only becomes special when it evokes feelings in people that they didn't even know they had.

After graduating from the University of the Arts, Malaika Möller now works as a freelance artist in Berlin. In addition to classical and early music, she devotes herself in particular to interdisciplinary and cross-over projects in which she combines different musical and artistic genres, such as cello improvisation to verbatim theater, participation in classical techno festivals and accompanying a chessboard piano.

Whether as part of an ensemble or in a small musical moment in between: Erik Hünlich finds his personal expression in the alto saxophone. As part of his musical training, he successfully took part in "Jugend musiziert" several times and gained formative stage experience. Today, he makes music alongside his studies - as a conscious change and creative outlet from everyday academic life. For him, music is a space in which concentration, joy of playing and personal expression come together.
