DESCRIPTION:Alone Together - On the meaning of freedom. Nine nights in Berl
 in\, 10 July - 4 September. The world community has moved closer together 
 than ever before. Borders have been closed\, countries put into lockdown\,
  people forced to physically distance themselves from each other. There is
  no East or West\, no South or North. Humanity is bound together in facing
  global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic\, but also polarizing civil 
 unrest\, racial injustice\, rapid climate change as well as the consequenc
 es of the destruction and exploitation of our earth. The voices of politic
 ians\, scientists and economists dispute louder than ever as people protes
 t against the loss of personal freedom.What about our spiritual and artist
 ic voices?In response\, the American Church in Berlin seeks this dialogue\
 ; a space of mutual learning from each other on nine summer evenings: Berl
 in based jazz artists from diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds are 
 invited to create a contemplative Jazz Evensong together with nine theolog
 ians\, to reflect on freedom from Christian perspectives based on spiritua
 l practice\, poetry\, biblical narratives and prayers. Time for silence aw
 ards a space for personal meditation on music and word. Together we will c
 elebrate jazz as 'global worship music'\, a spiritual music experience whi
 ch brings our many different cultures together in a time of growing divers
 ity and uncertainty.With deep respect we recognize the growing loss amongs
 t the jazz community of musicians who died due to COVID-19\, including the
  jazz legends Lee Konitz\, John ?Bucky? Pizzarelli\, Manu Dibango\, Ellis 
 Marsalis and Wallace Rooney to date. This series celebrates a jazz great e
 ach week\, who shares a birthday on one of the nine nights with a short me
 morial text and an original composition performed by the host musicians as
  a prelude. The host musicians each night will be Marcel Krömker\, double bas
 s\; Albrecht Guendel-vom Hofe\, organ and piano as well as Lauren and Uwe 
 Steinmetz\, cello and saxophone.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the number 
 of visitors will be restricted. Online registration is recommended. Please
  visit www.bluechurchberlin.com for more information and to register. Each
  event will be followed by an outdoor reception for continued dialogue as 
 well as recorded and streamed through the ACB website.The series is initia
 ted and directed by Uwe Steinmetz\, co-founder of BlueChurch\, the interna
 tional network for Jazz and Christian Spirituality (www.bluechurch.ch).\n
