Experience Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko live on January 23rd

Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko, a Ukrainian composer and performer, will present a concert at Sankt Matthäus-Kirche in Berlin on January 23, 2027. Saienko’s musical style blends contemporary classical composition with elements of traditional Ukrainian folk music and improvisation. Her work frequently incorporates extended vocal techniques and explores themes of cultural identity, memory, and the human voice. She is known for utilizing both composed scores and spontaneous, intuitive performance practices.

Sankt Matthäus-Kirche, located in the Schöneberg district of Berlin, holds significant historical importance. Originally built as a Protestant church between 1838 and 1842 based on designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it sustained substantial damage during World War II. Following extensive reconstruction completed in 1961, the church became renowned for its unique architectural features – a largely intact medieval fieldstone tower dating back to the 13th century integrated with the neoclassical nave. The acoustics within Sankt Matthäus-Kirche are considered particularly well-suited for vocal and chamber music performances due to its resonant interior and careful restoration efforts focused on preserving sound quality.
