One aspect of our eastPLUGGED® concert is to present European musicians in special instrumental and sound constellations.

Our program DUO2 in August comprises 2x2 artists [CATRIN FINCH & AOIFE NÍ BHRIAIN - NILS WÜLKER & ARNE JANSEN] from 2x2 different countries [Wales-Ireland; Bavaria-Germany], with 2x2 unusual instrumental combinations [harp-violin; trumpet-guitar]. Although the two DUOs are characterized by completely different musical styles [both are impossible to describe, you have to hear them], both have in common a certain musical minimalism and sound purism, which accentuates each instrument in a characteristic way while at the same time leading to a dense and harmonious sound within the duo. This will be great to hear  in the “chamber music hall” of the Friedenskirche.

It is planned to make a culinary interval between the two concerts. Details will follow.

eastPLUGGED® concerts are always selected with the aim of presenting new acoustic accents within a musical framework. With SHALOSH in November, we have invited a band whose musical profile spans many genres, so that you can expect a concert night full of variety. Gadi Stern [p, key], David Michaeli [b] and drummer Matan Assayag are merging rock, classical music, jazz, folk, electronic and music from the Middle East, all wrapped in a typical SHALOSH “harmonious musical gown”. Their current program “Tales of Utopia” documents a search for attitude and peacefulness, in which all of us can participate.

On the 1st Advent and 55 concerts after his first gig in Ratingen, JACOB KARLZON returns to the eastPLUGGED®, this time just by himself at the grand piano. His “Winter Stories” are not only a musical journey through his Swedish homeland and a way to get into mood for Christmas, but above all an opportunity to pause and take a short break from the political and social turbulences around us.

Ticket for this special concert are not on sale. Seats for this special concert will be drawn by lot in October 2025 among all guests who have booked at least one eastPLUGGED® concert this year. If you have attended several concerts, this increases your chances accordingly. You will be notified automatically, so please refrain from inquiries in between.
