Espen Eriksen Trio live in Bielefeld

Experience Espen Eriksen Trio live on May 9th

Espen Eriksen Trio will perform at Bunker Ulmenwall in Bielefeld, Germany on May 9th, 2027. The trio, comprised of Espen Eriksen (trumpet), Lars Tofte (bass), and Andreas Fromma (drums), is known for its atmospheric and subtly shifting improvisational music. Their style blends elements of jazz, contemporary classical, and ambient soundscapes, often characterized by spaciousness, delicate textures, and a focus on sonic exploration rather than traditional song structures. They frequently employ extended techniques and utilize silence as a compositional element.

Bunker Ulmenwall is a former Cold War-era civil defense shelter constructed in Bielefeld between 1958 and 1960. Originally designed to protect the city’s population during potential air raids, it remained operational until the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War. The bunker's thick concrete walls and unique acoustics have since made it a distinctive venue for cultural events. Following extensive renovation in the early 2000s, it now functions as a multi-purpose space hosting concerts, exhibitions, and performances with a particular focus on experimental music and art forms.
