Church in session #29: Walls Will Fall, Mazen Kerbaj – the 28 Trumpets of Jericho | Gleo

Another concert in the “Church in Session” series at Startbahn, in Neukölln.


Walls Will Fall

Mazen Kerbaj – the 28 Trumpets of Jericho

“Walls Will Fall” is a site-specific composition by Mazen Kerbaj that will guide 28 Berlin trumpet players through the unique acoustics of the Genezarethkirche. According to the Old Testament, Jericho’s walls collapsed under the sound of seven trumpeters, blowing their horns for seven days while circling around the city. Far from the religious background of the story, it is the idea of music breaking walls and barriers that is central to this composition. During the performance of “Walls Will Fall,” the Genezarethkirche’s natural reverberation becomes the accomplice of every sound and movement.

Mazen Kerbaj with: Aaron Schmidt-Wiegand, Alexander Gibson, Brad Henkel, Carina Khorkhordina, Claudia Habig, Cornelius Fritsch, Florian Scheffler, Gisela Meßollen, Güley Alagöz, Hilary Jeffrey, Juri Bell, Linus Bornheim, Milad Khawam, Paul Schwingenschlögl, Przemek Swiderek, Yannick Maentele, Tandoruk Yalçin, Germán Gabriel García, Simon Dufour, Elena Bjuan, Simone Samuel, Caique Santana, Tobias Netta, Lutz Wolf, Steffen Zimmer, Cielo Faccio, Fabien Engwicht, Liz Allbee
