On September 24, 2025, two innovators from the avant-garde and experimental electronic spheres—Kara-Lis Coverdale and Ellen Arkbro—converge beneath the reverberant arches of Gedächtniskirche. This unique performance positions meditative minimalism and spectral sound fields within the resonant architecture of one of Germany’s most iconic sacred spaces, promising a rare immersion into deep listening. Kara-Lis Coverdale, renowned for her meticulous compositional layers and boundary-pushing explorations of voice and organ, brings her singular approach to timbre and space.

Joining her is Ellen Arkbro, a composer and sound artist recognized for work at the intersection of acoustic phenomena and electronic drone, whose work with pipe organ and subtle harmonics will find full expression in this setting. The meeting of these artists, both distinguished for redefining the interface between electronic music and classical forms, sets the stage for a contemplative experience—one where the acoustics of Gedächtniskirche become an instrument unto themselves. Expect slowly unfolding harmonies, immersive textures, and an interplay between the ancient and the contemporary, all within the timeless context of the cathedral.
