Originally a jazz pianist and graduate of London's Royal Academy of Music, Kit Downes has consistently established himself as a musically versatile crossover artist.
He gained fame with the trio ENEMY, among others, which plays powerful music that ranges from lyrical introspection to eruptive outbursts of sound. With the album "Obsidian" in 2018, he drew musically on biographical experiences and devoted himself exclusively to the church organ. This dedication led to sound experiments that are reminiscent of analog synthesizers and impressively illustrate that the boundaries between contemporary improvisational art and traditional sacred music are fluid.
For his performance in Cologne Cathedral, the audience can expect an intensive exploration of the extraordinary sound spectrum of the organ, which is one of the largest instruments in Germany with 143 stops. This evening offers the rare opportunity to experience historical sound architecture in harmony with innovative musical creativity and at the same time conveys that artistic individuality and the appreciative highlighting of cultural sustainability can form a contemporary unity.
