Sissi Rada + Baal & Mortimer

In the organizer's words:

As part of our 15 years celebration event series we present Sissi Rada and Baal & Mortimer (Support).

Sissi Makropoulou is a versatile harp virtuoso, composer, and electronic music artist based in Athens and Berlin. With a distinguished career as a harpist, she has collaborated with prestigious ensembles such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Deutsche Oper, and MusicAeterna, and has performed as a soloist with the Athens State Orchestra, Sinfonietta Köln, and the Nordwestdeutsche Sinfonietta. Sissi's achievements include winning prizes at the 5th International Harp Contest in the Netherlands, the 2023 Regensburg International Composition Competition, and the Young Soloists Competition in Athens.

In addition to her classical work, she creates and performs her own music under the name Sissi Rada, where she blends harp with experimental sounds, seamlessly mixing classical traditions with contemporary innovation. She has released music on Stroom Records, Kryptox, Inner Ear and Brilliant Classics.

Alexandra Gruebler is a Berlin-based composer, producer and performer of electroacoustic music. Her artistic practice employs a dialogic interaction between the topography of her voice and various processed instruments such as the psaltery, bagpipes, acoustic artefacts and poetics. The voice remains the transmitting agent between discipline and drift, control and devotion. With her solo project Baal & Mortimer she has released on Bureau B/ Tapete Records, ITALIC, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and Objects&Sounds. She was the mentee of Laurel Halo (Amplify Berlin 2018) and Greg Fox (Forecast Forum 2023).
