Ensemble Kiosk Extended

Christmas Slumber


Storytelling and abstract art can exist side by side. The KIOSK ensemble operates at the interface between classical, experimental and popular music, improvisation and musical theater.

The concert program “Christmas Slumber” snuggles into the stage set, a puzzle of songs, instrumental music and improvisations. Individual pieces, sought and collected, an eclectic program with memories of something we no longer know what it was, with restless anticipation and fatal euphoria.

In addition to music by Ryuichi Sakamoto, we feature the Zurich composer Anna Trauffer and the young Georgian-Swiss composer Alexandre Kordzaia aka Kordz.

The program also includes pieces composed especially for Kiosk by Russudan Meipariani and Natalie Beridze, whose piece “Slumber” (2024) for voice, piano and synthesizer will be premiered on this evening.

Kiosk Extended will be joined live by friends of the ensemble:
two of Georgia's most innovative electronic musicians, Natalie 'Tusia' Beridze and Anushka Chkheidze. Both artists have made significant contributions to the global electronic music scene, while remaining true to their Georgian roots - as well as the stubborn Zurich percussionist Christian Wolfarth - minimalist in his instrumentation and maximalist in his sonic richness.

Kiosk - Ensemble Extended with a range even more unpredictable, subtle and chaotic!
