Elsa & der Viertelton

With an entertaining musical stroll through the musicians' homelands and a look beyond the horizon, worlds meet.

With the Syrian-born oud virtuoso Samer Alhalabi, the improvisational cellist Isabel Eichenlaub and the folk musician and guitarist Peter Braun, three musicians have come together to create a connection between folk, classical and world music across genres and cultures - a music in which freedom and peace are alive beyond all boundaries.

With oud, cello, guitar and voices, they create a new poetry of sounds, rhythms and words and take their listeners on an exciting musical journey between Orient and Occident.

An intercultural encounter in the universal language of music that repeatedly builds bridges - exciting and harmonious at the same time!

"... musically a rare unity, process ... [their] pieces ... into a very lively, vividly pulsating and artistically mature synthesis. Instrumental and vocal parts are always of a high caliber, going far beyond the usual standards of the singer-songwriter movement. ..."
