AION-Quartett
Overview
Intro
The AION Quartet performs music that blends haunting melodies, free improvisation, and chamber music passages into a warm, Mediterranean-Oriental, colorful, and groovy soundscape.
The AION Quartet is on tour with a new lineup: Christian Berger (oud, guitar, composition), Thomas Küng (soprano saxophone, flugelhorn), Jürg Surber (double bass), and Dominic Doppler (drums). The ensemble has been active in various lineups for over twenty years and blends different sonic worlds into a distinctive, warm, and rich overall sound.
The name AION comes from Greek and refers to a particular conception of time: While Chronos describes measurable, progressive time, Aion stands for the life-filled, condensed time of the moment. It is precisely this tension that also characterizes Christian Berger’s compositions.
The music unfolds into captivating melodies, chamber-music-like passages, multi-layered rhythms, and great expressiveness. It navigates the tension between Eastern-inspired musical traditions, improvisational freedom, and finely honed arrangements.
The lovingly crafted themes remain catchy, are further developed live, and are constantly interwoven in new ways. The result is a concert that moves, surprises, and keeps the audience engaged—music that flows continuously and immediately draws its audience in.
