EVA. in Düsseldorf
... of the search, of vulnerability, of melancholy, doubts and dreams
For Eva Swiderski, music is an escape from everyday life, the dreariness, the world-weariness. At the same time, it is also a form with which one can process precisely these feelings and give listeners a chance to feel heard or less lonely.
With her new ensemble, Eva tries to blur the boundaries between vulnerability and strength, contrasting fragility and power.
