SUMMARY:Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra X Hermeto's Mothership (A Tribute 
 To Hermeto Pascoal)
LOCATION:Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt
DESCRIPTION:Since its founding in 2006\, the Andromeda Mega Express Orchest
 ra has continually reinvented itself. With a repertoire of over 120 works
 —mostly composed and arranged by ensemble leader Daniel Glatzel—specif
 ically created for this remarkable ensemble\, AMEO embarks on adventurous 
 musical voyages of discovery. It explores\, develops\, combines\, and vari
 es a seemingly endless array of musical styles\, schools\, and cultures. T
 he orchestra will mark its 20th anniversary in 2026 with several special p
 rograms\; one of these is dedicated to the musical legacy of Brazilian mus
 ic legend Hermeto Pascoal.\n\nIn July 2015\, Hermeto Pascoal traveled to B
 erlin to stage a collaborative project with the Andromeda Mega Express Orc
 hestra and two fellow musicians\, Fábio Pascoal and Aline Morena. This en
 counter was a first in several respects: it marked Hermeto Pascoal’s ini
 tial collaboration with a German ensemble. Furthermore\, for this project
 \, Pascoal left Brazil for the first time to perform his compositions in a
 rrangements created by another artist—ensemble leader and composer Danie
 l Glatzel.\n \nThis collaboration was a resounding success and met with an
  extraordinary response. In addition to extensive press coverage\, the aud
 ience honored the artistic performance of the orchestra and soloists with 
 standing ovations. An exciting new lineup—bringing together long-time as
 sociates of Pascoal and the AMEO—will now build upon the energy of those
  unique concert evenings in November 2026. The group will feature the musi
 cians who were closest to Hermeto artistically. "Hermeto's Mothership"—c
 omprising Itibere Zwarg\, Fabio Pascoal\, Andre Marques\, Ajurina Zwarg\, 
 and Jota P.—consists of musicians who shared the stage with Hermeto Pasc
 oal around the world for decades. The ensemble is joined by Hermeto’s go
 ddaughter\, the flutist Mariana Zwarg. Mariana now lives in Berlin and ser
 ves as a vital link between the two ensembles.\n\nThe world-renowned Brazi
 lian composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal passed away in Rio
  de Janeiro on September 13\, 2025\, at the age of 89. Pascoal is consider
 ed one of Brazil’s most extraordinary and internationally influential mu
 sicians. For decades\, countless musicians around the world have interpret
 ed his works. He was an incomparable virtuoso\, composer\, and arranger wh
 o blended diverse musical cultures with great ease. Traditional Brazilian 
 music and jazz\, dissonances and catchy melodies\, odd time signatures and
  *forró* dance beats—in Pascoal’s hands\, all this complexity became 
 captivating and exhilarating. The collaboration between Hermeto's Mothersh
 ip and the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra celebrates and honors the imme
 nsely versatile body of work of this Brazilian visionary.\n\nThe Andromeda
  Mega Express Orchestra was named the inaugural winner of the German Jazz 
 Prize for Large Ensembles in 2021 and was honored as "Live Act of the Year
 " in 2025. Over its twenty-year history\, the orchestra has performed more
  than 250 concerts in 25 countries across four continents and engaged in c
 ountless projects and intercultural collaborations. All four of the orches
 tra's albums released to date have garnered international acclaim. A fifth
  album is currently in the works and is scheduled for release in 2027. The
  Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra currently performs in lineups featuring 
 up to twelve musicians from eight countries.\n\nSupported by the Capital C
