InSpirit – Bernsteinzimmer | Benjamin Geyer feat. Sebastian Heindl

In the organizer's words:

Berlin-based pianist Benjamin Geyer began his musical career at the age of 5 on the piano. Electric guitar and electronic sound generators were also an important starting point for his creative work at a young age.

He is an active part of the Berlin jazz and improvisation scene. Through his various projects between jazz, improvisation and electronic music (including Flying Cakes, Mononoke, Loarbaire, Phonophobia and the Mia Knop Jacobsen Band), Benjamin can look back on concert tours in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Norway. The Mia Knop Jacobsen Band won 1st place in the 2017 Sparda Jazz Prize (Klaus Doldinger).

InSpirit - Jazz as a spiritual musical experience in the Gedächtniskirche

The InSpirit series has characterized the summer in the Gedächtniskirche for many years: the combination of contemporary jazz music and spiritual content in a church space is unique in this form in Berlin.

The famous blue light of the stained glass windows creates an incomparable atmosphere in which to enjoy jazz as a spiritual musical experience. Renowned jazz musicians from Germany and abroad perform the evenings of the series together with theologians.

The artistic director of InSpirit is the organist of the Gedächtniskirche, Sebastian Heindl. He not only brings his personal enthusiasm for contemporary jazz to the selection of the invited musicians, but also takes part in some evenings on the large organ or Hammond organ himself.
