Dear radio listeners,

this Thursday, after the news on SWR2, the programme Tar, SiTar, GiTarre - musical elective landscapes by Johannes S. Sistermanns will be broadcast.

It focuses on the Tar (English: String) and a portrait-like presentation of Elshan Ghasimi's artistic practice.

SWR press release

Their common origin probably goes back many millennia: the Iranian long-necked lute tar, the Indian sitar, and the guitar, which derives from the ancient Greek kithara, are definitely related to each other. Today, their playing is highly differentiated. The Persian master of the Tar, Elshan Ghasimi, represents the stringed instrument both in its tradition and in contemporary relevance.

Dear friends and critics of global connections!

After more than four years, the first parts of the collections of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art of the National Museums in Berlin can finally be experienced again. This weekend, the Humboldt Forum, which is quite a historical-political disaster, will be the venue for a festive event lasting several days.

We will have to discuss elsewhere, the question of whether cynicism or ignorance is more helpful in this case. On the other hand, we are happy that the Tar virtuoso Elshan Ghasimi will finally be back in Berlin for this event!

In the two-day concert installation ASED by Sandeep Bhagwati, she and her formidable colleagues of the ensemble Extrakte can be found in the Hörraum Musikethnologie on the 2nd floor of the Palace.

The installation starts at eleven a.m. and can be visited intermittently until 21:30 on Saturday and 18:30 on Sunday. If you would like to hear Elshan Ghasimi play, please visit her at the following times:

Saturday 25.9.2021

14:30 - 15:30 / 17:00 - 18:30

Sunday 26.9.2021

11:00 - 12:30

Admission is free, but a time slot ticket must be booked.

Wishing you enjoyable autumn days and a good aegis for the new chancellor,

Julian Malte Hatem Schindele
