Sawt Out and suzueri/Bonnie Jones duo

$15 general admission / $10 students & members (No one turned away for lack of funds)

Since its foundation in 2015, the Berlin-based trio Sawt Out has shaped and refined its profile as a prominent improvisational unit. After focusing entirely on their unusual acoustic instrumentation over the course of six years, consisting of trumpet and two sets of percussion, they invented an electro-acoustic version of the group as their second musical leg. Whether acoustic or electronic, these three gentlemen create bewildering sound worlds rich in detail and of tight musical interaction.

Sawt Out is: Burkhard Beins (percussion), Mazen Kerbaj (trumpet), and Michael Vorfeld (percussion)
