PANDAjazz: Aki Takase & Silke Eberhard

Aki Takase und Silke Eberhard suchen den musikalischen Dialog. Beide Instrumentalistinnen prägen den Berliner Jazz seit Jahren und vermeiden das Vorhersehbare. Das Duo nutzt Klavier und Saxophon als Ausgangspunkt für freie Improvisationen. Die unterschiedlichen Werdegänge der Musikerinnen fließen in ein Gespräch ohne feste Strukturen ein. Die PANDA platforma bietet den Rahmen für diesen Abend. Ein anspruchsvolles Konzert für ein Publikum, das sich auf den Moment einlassen will.

Aki Takase and Silke Eberhard have been meeting in music for years. Both are unmistakable voices in Berlin jazz, and neither seems interested in the easy, predictable reply. Their long-running duo brings piano and saxophone into a conversation shaped by two very different musical paths.\n\nBorn in Osaka, Takase gave her first European concert at Jazzfest Berlin in 1981. Since then she has worked across continents and in countless formations, and in 2026 received the German Jazz Prize for lifetime achievement. Eberhard has shaped the Berlin scene through her own trio, Potsa Lotsa and many collective projects; she received the Jazzpreis Berlin in 2020. In the duo, those histories become a starting point for improvisation – with just piano and saxophone to carry the exchange.
