CONCERT DURING THE EXHIBITION

Soundworlds in dialogue – international crossover with students of Popakademie Baden-Württemberg 

Percusiano (Max Gerwien und Ilja Ruf)

Bero (Emanuel Abanto, Berivan Canbolat and Dominik Gusch)

Bridging cultural boundaries, finding common creativity and joy from the diversity of sound cultures: No other cultural form is closer to this than making music together. This is also demonstrated by the two Mannheim based bands Percusiano and Bero, whose members all study at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.

In Percusiano, percussionist Max Gerwien and pianist Ilja Ruf enter into a musical dialogue. The two met at the Popakademie in 2020. They are united by a shared love of interpretation, with which they have been delighting audiences in this formation since 2022. The duo promises a varied programme of different musical styles, emotionally and creatively performed with numerous percussion instruments from different continents as well as piano.

Bero fuses pop and rock with traditional sounds and invites you into a world full of sounds and colours. Pulsating grooves and rock guitar meet the tones of the Turkish long-necked lute baglama and unite to create a mutual sound. Bero wants to use their music to connect people and build cultural bridges in order to make a contribution to greater community and solidarity.

With both Percusiano and Bero, traditional and new sounds are in dialogue and lead to innovative sonic interpretations and concepts of music.

The concert is organised in cooperation with the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.
