– DAY 2 –

Friday, 20 November 2026

Opening the second night, exceptional Dutch saxophonist Kika Sprangers presents her brand-new album. Harnessing a sound of rare, dark beauty, her stellar quintet project river, river uses fluid movement as a powerful metaphor for human life. Moving between deep silence and orchestral power, the music unfolds—at times gently meandering, at times surging in wild, captivating currents.

• Line-up: Kika Sprangers – saxophones, Anna Serierse – vocals, Koen Schalkwijk – piano, wurlitzer, William Barrett – double bass, Wouter Kühne – drums

In stark contrast, the Berlin-based project **Y**, led by the often-masked US synthesist and SWR Jazz Prize winner Liz Kosack, unleashes an interdimensional sonic experience. Her psychedelic excursion between space-jazz and free-rock 'n' roll tears down the boundaries between analog and digital music with raw energy. A fiercely brilliant mix of driving grooves and futuristic synthesizer explorations, recently celebrated by freiStil magazine with a maximum 5-star rating!

• Line-up: Liz Kosack – synthesizer, Dan Peter Sundland – electric bass, Steve Heather – drums
