ENSEMBLE NIKEL CELEBRATES IST 20th ANNIVERSARY IN BERN
On 6 December 2026, the renowned Ensemble will turn 20 and celebrate its anniversary with film, music, its audience and anyone who wishes to join in.
The programme opens with the premiere of a film by the American filmmaker Paul Moon. The documentary follows Nikel on his summer 2025 tour through the south-east of the USA with Swiss composer Laurent Estoppey and local musicians and performers.
The second part of the evening is dedicated to ‘Minor Characters’ (2023) by Jennifer Walshe and Matthew Shlomowitz. The show is a virtuoso, high-energy, ironic composition that stages a critical examination of religion, gender, politics and the hierarchical elements that distort all of these.

6.00 pm: Presentation of the vinyl box set with drinks
7.00 pm: ‘Minor Characters’ feat. Jennifer Walshe
