@dings.ev and @cevizkollektiv are inviting you to the next round of „soundscapes“. At the 17th of October we’ll present you the „Duo Musayyebi & Heuser“ and „Rezvan & Band“.

Duo Musayyebi & Heuser

Kioomars Musayyebi and Andreas Heuser – both members of the Ruhr-area world music big band Transorient Orchestra – meet musically halfway between Orient and Occident, where their instruments engage in diverse dialogues with one another.

They perform oriental traditionals in new arrangements as well as original compositions, in which musical influences from East and West merge together.

Both possess a profound musical education and many years of experience in a wide range of musical settings; they are virtuosic instrumentalists and individual composers.

With imagination, they explore the numerous tonal and rhythmic possibilities of their instruments, blending the sounds of the 72-string Persian santur, various guitars, and the violin into multifaceted soundscapes: rhythmic, dynamic, lyrical, and meditative.

Andreas Heuser studied classical guitar, jazz guitar, and violin at the State University of Music in Detmold, Dortmund Institute.

Rezvan & Band:

Rezvan is deeply passionate about singing. For the past two years, she has been training professionally, and this performance marks her very first time on stage. She sings in traditional, pop, and fusion styles.

What brings her here today is a dream she has carried for many years—the dream of singing freely. In her country, women are not allowed to sing publicly, but today she has the chance to raise her voice.

She hopes her singing creates a beautiful feeling within the audience, and she looks forward to the day when all women around the world can follow their dreams without restrictions.

She’ll be joined by the pianist @e_.hosseinzadeh and the musician @sargmusic

Die beiden lernten sich nach Peters Rückkehr Dortmund nach zwei Jahren Berlin kennen und spielen seitdem in unterschiedlichsten Band- und Genrekonstellationen zusammen. Durch zahlreiche spontane Absagen ihrer Schüler und der daraus resultierenden Freizeit bot sich den beiden nun die Gelegenheit ein Duo-Programm zu erarbeiten, welches ihre Liebe zum humorvollen musikalischen Austausch auf Basis der Jazztradition zum Ausdruck bringt. Auf dem Speiseplan des künstlerischen Ohrenschmauses stehen Leckerbissen des Great American Songbook und vieles mehr; virtuos, mitreißend und unterhaltsam interpretiert!
