InSpirit – Marie Krüttli Quintett "Dragon life"

In the organizer's words:

Marie Krüttli is a Swiss pianist, composer and producer who lives in Berlin. She was born into a family of musicians in a village in Switzerland and started playing the piano at the age of 6. She initially studied classical music, but then switched to jazz and later obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degree at the HEMU Lausanne and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Marie has received numerous awards for her achievements in performance and composition. The artist is currently working on a project called Dragon Life, which emerged from her work as a producer.

DragonLife is a dreamy band that incorporates unique textures of electronics and acoustics. Strong beats and dense colors, mermaid-like vocals winding around them, and deep and subtle lyrics in French and English. The flow is sometimes rhythmically clear and groovy, sometimes floating, almost like Björk.

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 plays the large organ or Hammond organ himself on some evenings.
