Nesrine is a captivating vocalist, cellist, and songwriter who weaves together jazz, pop, classical music, and North African influences into something entirely her own. Classically trained on cello and a collaborator with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim, Nesrine brings a uniquely worldly sensibility to every performance.

Her sound effortlessly bridges continents and genres. She collaborates with luminaries like Michael League and Michel Portal, and moves fluidly between Arabic, French, and English in her recordings and live sets. There's an intellectual warmth to her work, balancing technical sophistication with genuine emotional accessibility, never sacrificing one for the other.

Part of Zig Zag's 11-night summer festival, this performance brings an artist of rare depth and cross-cultural fluency to Berlin. Whether you're a longtime follower of contemporary jazz or simply curious about music that defies easy categorization, Nesrine offers something worth your time.
