Concert “Time Travel” with the MESTEHA Trio

19.06.2026

With hurdy-gurdy, hang, accordion, and percussion instruments, "street music," dance tunes from past eras, as well as original compositions are performed. The trio finds ample space for the spontaneous art of improvisation within all this, creating syntheses with contemporary dance and style elements (world music, tango, bossa, …).
As a listener, you soon feel invited to dance—or to a distant dream! Afro-Asian rhythms are just as much a part of the trio's repertoire as "Le petit chien" (=the little dog), a piece from the repertoire of ecstatic hurdy-gurdy playing.
This creates a very special atmosphere that sweeps the listener away, even in the stillness of the event.
Those who believe they are being transported to another time will eventually realize that the musicians are very authentically engaged in their playing here and now, simply because it brings them joy!
Stefan Weiß (hurdy-gurdy, accordion, voice, …), Mecky Pilecky (cajon, djembe, darabukka, …) and Harry Ellinger (hang, balafon, congas, …)
