Bloch/Mehner (DE)

Annie Bloch (church organ) Raissa Mehner (g)

Ev. Stadtkirche Moers

In an unconventional lineup of church organ and electric guitar, Annie Bloch and Raissa Mehner from Cologne collide their sound worlds. Fearlessly, the duo puts the relationship between repetition and change to the test in their compositions and improvisations. Searching for intersections of their musical influences from jazz, experimental music, progressive rock, classical, and folk, they create striking soundscapes, bringing one of the oldest and one of the youngest musical instruments provocatively close. Bloch / Mehner seamlessly contrast the large Lux Aeterna homage by the SWR vocal ensemble and the Trondheim Voices in the Stadtkirche.
