Korhan Erel will play a live solo soundtrack concert to the sci-fi cult film “Them!” (1954) on October 13, 2021 at Cuba – Black Box* in Münster. The concert will last the entire duration of the film and will be entirely improvised without prior preparation. Disclaimer: Korhan saw the film many years ago in a film class.

* at the time of this post, the concert was still not listed on the website for reasons unknown to me, but it’s happening.

Korhan’s second and third concerts will be at the The Dorf & Umland Festival on October 15, 2021 at Kreuzung an St. Helena in Bonn. The first concert is with Ephemeral Fragments, a wonderful improvising trio with Florian Walter (tubax) and Emily Wittbrodt (cello). Ephemeral Fragments was founded in 2019 and has spent the pandemic period quite active with rehearsals, recordings and even several concerts. Their debut album “Mit Gefühl” will be released in 2021.

The third concert will be as guest performer with violinist Julia Brüssel’s experimental string ensemble Liasemble. The ensemble consists of the following wonderful musicians:

Julia Brüssel — violin, comp | Gunda Gottschalk — violin | Pauline Buss — viola | Axel Lindner — viola | Emily Wittbrodt — cello | Nathan Bontrager — cello | Jonas Gerigk— bass
