Live Music

Hey Balkaneros! I'm back in Berlin, and that means our Šljiva evenings are back too! This is the perfect opportunity to connect with fun people while having delicious food and listening to live Balkan folk music. First-time attendees often say things like, “How did I not know about this?” and “This is such a unique experience in Berlin!” So, if you haven’t been to Šljiva yet, you’re definitely missing out. Check out [Šljiva's Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sljivaberlin/) for some impressions. There will be a **fee of 8 euros** to participate in the event. Please send it through PayPal to ellenit.hernandez@gmail.com after you sign up. There are **only six spots**, so I'll only reserve your spot when you sign up AND send the money. This is meant to prevent last-minute cancellations. The money will go to the musicians. See you! Ellenit

German thrash metal gods Kreator descend upon Berlin with their friends Exodus and Carcass, two more of metal’s biggest figures. It’s a big lineup with big riffs, bigger energy, and the biggest pedigree Berlin has seen this year. Over a dozen albums in, Kreator is still at the top of their game and slinging powerful melodies, driving riffs, and powerfully poignant lyrical themes, with a new album coming January 16th. And so far it’s pretty damn good. Tickets: https://www.eventim.de/en/eventseries/3984920 Join our telegram for easier event communication/to get to know us better: https://t.me/+VcOWy9Elw9I4MjIy

**Music Therapy & Systemic Psychotherapy** My approach integrates music therapy and systemic psychotherapy to support emotional expression, connection, and transformation. Through sound, improvisation, and dialogue, we explore inner experiences, family dynamics, and relational patterns in a safe and creative space. The sessions invite awareness, playfulness, and presence — allowing music to become both mirror and bridge between what is felt and what can be spoken. Whether through active musicking, deep listening, or verbal reflection, the process unfolds at your own pace, weaving together body, voice, and relationships as pathways to healing and growth.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
