We are excited to announce a Pop-Up Sessions on New Beginnings.
In collaboration with Workish.Berlin, we bring you an intimate live concert on contemporary music, experimental pieces by artists that are performers and composers. We have tailored an evening accompanied by three artists with very distinct influences.
We are keen to introduce a new approach to music and question how we listen to music and to listen with intention. With this session, we want you to uestion how often we are feed by media on what is considered as music or what shall be listened and to rather engage with the composition and performance that brings in a sense of kindness into the craft and music landscape.

19:15 – 21:45 Concert
19:15 – 19:55 Nina Clarissa Frenzel

About the musicians:
Nina Clarissa Frenzel is a contemporary artist and composer working at the intersection of music, poetry, and visual art. Born in Dresden in 1998, she studied cello at the State Music High School “Carl Maria von Weber” and completed her degree at the University of Music in Würzburg in 2021. Since then, she has been living and working as an independent artist in the Oderbruch region of Brandenburg, where distance from the city has shaped a reflective perspective and open artistic practice grounded in attentiveness and renewal.
Centered on the cello and her own voice, Frenzel’s compositions belong to contemporary classical music while remaining deeply intuitive and exploratory. Her works often integrate unconventional sound sources such as monochord, gong, and percussion, exploring themes of origin, transformation, and becoming. Across concerts, recordings, and interdisciplinary projects, her music unfolds like a first movement. For us it represents an act of beginning that invites listeners into a space of presence, vulnerability, and new possibilities.
Aryaman Natt is a classically trained pianist-turned-electronic musician based in Berlin. He has honed his sound and skills over many years of dedication to the piano, developing a deep love of harmony and colour. His journey as a musician has taken him from his home town London to Berlin as he explores the world of electronic music, blending his classical expertise with modern sounds. Aryaman’s compositions are characterised by indulgent and introspective harmonies that have a uniquely immersive quality, headphones on kind of vibe. His sonically crafted music is known for being an intimate and captivating auditory experience from the get go. Bridging the gap between tradition and innovation, Aryaman continues to refine and redefine a sound that is both timeless and refreshingly contemporary. For us, Aryamann‘s performance is as well a reflection on the roots and how we move forward, key to grounding ourselves into new beginnings.
Thomas MacMillan is originally from the remote Pennine region of Northern England. Composer and guitarist who has been an active force in Berlin’s independent music scene since 2018. Alongside performing with his alt-rock project Carnivalesque and collaborating with art-rock icon Kat Koan, he writes music for solo guitar.
Drawing inspiration from video game composers such as Akira Yamaoka and Nobuo Uematsu, as well as the niche micro-genre Fogcore, his forthcoming EP "Negative Space" explores liminal spaces, analog horror, and nostalgia – a sound world that feels both comforting and quietly unsettling.
