Kunsthaus Salon: Duo NADA

In the organizer's words:

With their current program "Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen - Lieder am Rande des Verfalls" (And tomorrow the sun will shine again - songs on the brink of decay), the Essen-based duo NADA explores the decay of both social and musical structures surrounding the central figure of Alma Mahler.

The pianist Mariko Sudo has gained an international reputation as a versatile and sought-after chamber musician and duo partner. She furthered her piano studies in the USA with Menahem Pressler at the renowned Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University Bloomington. Previously, Arnulf v. Arnim, Dirk Mommertz and Andreas Rainer at the Folkwang-Hochschule Essen were her most important mentors.

In soprano Lena-Maria Kramer, she has found an experienced musician and an accomplished duo partner for her exciting project. Kramer, who has been singing at the Aalto Theater Essen since 2020, began her artistic career in her hometown of Münster. Engagements have already taken her all over Europe, including South Africa. She demonstrates her versatile voice through stylistic diversity and expressive performance. Close collaboration with living composers such as Hauke Jasper Berheide, Manfred Trojahn, Anno Schreier and Rabih Lahoud make her an experienced interpreter of contemporary music.

The concert series is sponsored by the Cultural Office of the City of Essen
