Steven Walters (USA)

Fri 31 July - 8 pm

With a playful simplicity, and a fresh approach to contemporary folk music, Steven Walters invokes the most tender feeling level of the heart, moving you deeply --- to joy and laughter one moment, unabashed tears the next. With deftly woven lyrics and masterful guitar work, his songs are offerings of humor, spirit and sweetness -- serious music for the lighthearted soul.

Steven performs and speaks at diverse venues including concert halls, conferences, new thought churches, folk clubs and intimate house concerts from coast to coast. Events at which he has been invited to share his gifts include: workshops at the Esalen Institute; benefit concerts for the Gangaji Foundation (also featured in Gangaji's video, River of Freedom), Ram Dass, and others; the Inside Edge; and The International New Thought Alliance Conference. He has two independent releases available on compact disc.

Markus Stockhausen Trio "Lichtblick"

Sat 01 August - 9 pm

Markus Stockhausen - Trumpet
Angelo Comisso - Piano, Synthesizer
Christian Thomé - Drums

Guest musician:
Dinesh Mishra - Bansuri

The trio Stockhausen-Comisso-Thomé has been playing together since 2004. The trio's music is clearly shaped by the roots of European art music. Stockhausen's and Comisso's compositions form a harmonious synthesis with the art of improvisation so that a lightness, a kind of playfulness and also something humorous is created. All three musicians are virtuosos on their instruments and have a broad palette of playing experience. The trio's music feels close to jazz, but can amaze a more classically- or contemporary-minded audience just as much.The trio Stockhausen-Comisso-Thomé has been playing together since 2004.

Caravan of Love (Sufis)

Sun 02 August - 8 pm

Sheikh Hassan Dyck- Cello d'Amore, Voice, Story-Telling
Hey Hussein - Mouth-Harp, Voice, Percussion
Marvin Dillman - Didgeridoo, Darabuka

Mario Triska - Violin

Sheikh Hassan tells especially tales of sufi wisdom, accompanied by its violoncello of "Amore" also called "Campanulla". This "widened" violoncello offers a broad series of consonances and is remarkably adapted for the presentation of the ethnic spiritual music. The music comes mainly from the inspiration and the improvisation with a special attention to the noises, vibrations and frequencies. The Sufi tales are presented with great humour without losing the perspicacity and the depth of Sufi wisdom
