’Unfurling with a gentle jangle, the crisp, spring-fresh songwriting can't fail to get under your skin’, said Clash Magazine about EMMA ELISABETH - a Swedish singer/songwriter who pens beautifully crafted songs inspired by folk rock, americana and post punk. Since the release of her first EP in 2017 she has collaborated with top names such as Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey), Earl Harvin (Air, Tindersticks) and Nick McCarthy (Franz Ferdinand). Her critically acclaimed debut 'Melancholic Milkshake' brought her to the renowned showcase festival SXSW in Austin (Texas), USA, twice. Rolling Stone praised her as 'diverse and clever' and parallels were drawn to legends like Stevie Nicks. Her organic and authentic live performances prompted her second album 'Some Kind Of Paradise' to be recorded live on tape. Her intimate take on Lou Reeds 'I'll be your mirror' was seen in a worldwide TV advertisement and Emma Elisabeth has recently composed score for upcoming cinema film ”Fresh”. Her highly anticipated third album 'A Sudden Break In The Clouds', is set to be released in 2025.

Bringing together contrasts and creating harmony — that is the story of the German-Turkish piano duo EnsariSchuch. Highlights of our musical journey together include performances at renowned festivals such as Kissinger Sommer and the Klavier-Festival Ruhr, as well as appearances at the Konzerthaus Berlin, BOZAR Brussels, the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, and with orchestras including the WDR Symphony Orchestra, the Bamberg Symphony, and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg. Following three critically acclaimed recordings on the Avi label, we became exclusive duo artists with the French label naïve in 2023. Our debut album there, Eternity, was released in 2024. We have presented this program — which explores the theme of eternity through music — at major venues including the Cologne Philharmonie, Heidelberger Frühling, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and in Berlin. At times, we were joined by actor Dietmar Wunder, the German voice of James Bond, who contributed spoken-word interludes to the performance.
