The emergence of street concerts in times of pandemic

Corona pandemic led to strict bans on performance worldwide, which severely restricted cultural life. Musicians in particular suffered from the effects because they could no longer enter their usual stages. In this challenging time, the musicians of the band Berlin 21 found a creative solution. They started organizing street concerts in their home kiez Moabit-Tiergarten to continue to play live for their audience.

a magical musical moment

At these street concerts, the band meets a special guest: the German-Russian guitarist Alexy Wagner. Together they get a rousing program on their feet. The repertoire ranges from popular soul, radio and pop jazz classics, such as those of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Sting and Bob Marley, to the band's own compositions. This diversity ensures an extraordinary music experience that inspires the audience.

The effects on the local community

The street concerts are not only a platform for the musicians, but also an important cultural event for the neighborhood. They promote the community and offer residents a welcome change in everyday life. In times of isolation, the concerts create an atmosphere of the coexistence and the exchange that is often missing in the city.

A look into the future of the band

The changeover of classic club performances to public appearances opened the band a new perspective. While they originally started as a jazz trio, their style has developed through the interactions with the audience. Their determination of staying active despite the adversity shows the resilience of the music scene in Berlin.

conclusion: art in everyday life

The initiative of Berlin 21 to hold street concerts in Moabit-Tiergarten is an example of the creative resilience of artists in times of crisis. It brings both joy and a welcome distraction to the community and helps to keep the cultural diversity of Berlin alive. The combination of established classics and new own compositions reminds of how important music is for social interaction.
