Sound Garden with Jasmin Albash

The music of Jasmin Albash is inextricably bound up with her biography. As the daughter of a Palestinian refugee and a Swiss mother, she has explored and engaged with the roots of her family history and her father's Arab culture. These concerns are woven into a personal musical concept that embraces stories of suffering, injustice, and despair, but also of the strength and inspiration that can emerge from adversity. With her soulful voice and haunting melodies, the Basel-based musician invites the Sound Garden audience at the Fondation Beyeler to accompany her on a musical journey into worlds far and near.

This summer, as in previous years, the pavilion area in the Beyeler park will fill on Wednesday evenings with contemporary beats and sounds. Come and chill with cool drinks in a beautiful outdoor setting to music by regional and national acts. From jazz, samba, and hip-hop to neo-soul and Afro-beat – the "Sound Garden" offers a varied program of music for a relaxing mid-week evening in the museum park, with opportunities to discover new favorite performers and tracks.

The concerts in the series take place on Wednesdays from June 28 to August 30, 2023 in the Fondation Beyeler park, starting at 6 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Entrance is free of charge and no advance booking is required.
