The motto for this evening at this year's Baloise Session is "Soirée sans frontières" (Evening without borders). Stephan Eicher hails from the Bernese new wave scene, while Imany, who was born in Martigues, began her career in France before moving to New York. One created his very own musical language from a blend of electronic music, chanson, guitar sounds, cowbells, and a touch of world-weariness; the other put her fascinating voice at the service of soul, blues, pop, and even chamber music experiments. The "Soirée sans frontières" takes the audience from Münchenbuchsee (a suburb of Bern) via Paris, Martigues, and the Comoros to New York. It's not so much a strictly organized atlas, but more an encounter between two extraordinary life stories that have left their mark. Eicher and Imany draw on their roots, play with them, transform them, and send them back out to the audience in the form of music. The result is an evening without boundaries: personal, surprising, and deeply moving.
Tickets are CHF 110-160.
