AGENDA

DON’T STOP WHEN IT HURTS -  LET’S TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER By combining dark-pop and electronic sounds with intimate and intense lyrics, Katrina pulls you right into her blurry little world: imagine a foggy forest filled with mushrooms and mossy trees, adjacent to the urban underground of London (her birth town). As if this weren’t exciting enough, Katrina just recently launched her German hyperpop alter-ego kat404.  The combination of these two directions gives her final an exciting twist.

In her music Milena sings, what she cannot say. It may feel heavy or light, funny or strange - superficial at times, or deeply reflective – like a thousand faces shifting between nostalgia and new beginnings, each revealing a different truth. In her final exam, she takes you on a magical journey - one that embraces the beauty of transience. Inspired by life's highs and lows, she weaves her thoughts into melodies that linger in the mind and touch the soul. With every note, she reminds us to cherish the fleeting moments, to find meaning in the in-between, and to appreciate the time we have together in this ever-turning world. Oh, the bittersweet ache of knowing that nothing lasts forever.   Stephan Werner (production, keys, conducting) Claudius Heilgendorff (production) Noah Sarkis Karapetians (keys) Stefanos Christides (drums) Luca Loeb (bass) Mercedes Afonso (guitar) Andreas Savvides (guitar) Janne Paardenkooper (violin) Marta Garcia Albacete (violin) Dominica Eyckmans (viola) Sara Maraston (cello) Moritz Beck (trombone) Tim Consemulder (trumpet) Natascha Weindler (backings) Emily Mrosek (backings) Elias Schroter (Percussion)

A Symphony of a Tree A multimedia live performance composed and performed by Severin Salvenmoser.   What is it like to be a tree? What does a tree feel? What does a tree experience during its growth from seed to crown, from soil to heaven, from birth to death? The answers to these questions are out of reach for the human mind. But maybe the tree’s story can be told in the universal language of music and the natural sounds of a tree’s surroundings. Follow me on this journey through the elements. You will hear a symphony of field recordings of nature’s sounds sampled and synthesized, acoustic instruments recorded and also performed live by me. The sonic experience will be underlined by visuals interacting with the music.   Pre-recorded material performed by: Fame’s Project Orchestra Matangi Quartet   Severin Salvenmoser is a composer and musician who has worked for theatre companies, dance choreographers, and fashion shows. His autonomous project, “A Symphony of a Tree” is a modern take on the symphonic poem. Inspired by all the musical sounds that constantly surround us, he wants to melt them together with instrumental music in a composition and make the symphony of the world audible as he hears it.   www.salvenmoser.com www.instagram.com/severinsalvenmoser
