Opening act of the fifteenth edition of the Jazzwerkstatt Bern.

"The musical worlds of Yara Asmar float by like clouds. Wielding metallophone, electronics, and her grandmother’s accordion, this Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist, video artist and puppeteer builds castles in the air of unmatched beauty. She buffets her listeners with toy piano, musical box, and an inimitable flair for tonal enticement. Music and image are woven together in a dulcet diary full of melancholic vulnerability and vital intensity. Yara Asmar is the opening act of the fifteenth edition of the Jazzwerkstatt Bern."
