ENCRUZILHADAS: Chamber music between Brazil, Cuba, and Jazz
At the Wellensiek House in Bielefeld, a musical crossroads will open on Sunday, October 11, 2026: Under the title ENCRUZILHADAS, the concert series Chamber Music at Wellensiek House presents the newly formed Trio Esquina. The concert starts at 6 PM and lasts until approximately 7:30 PM.
Three instruments, many musical worlds
Monica von Bülow on cello, Reinhold Westerheide on guitar, and Elmar Lappe on drums combine classical sound culture with danceable rhythms of Latin America. The program includes original works from Brazil and Cuba, pieces specially arranged for the ensemble, and multifaceted original compositions with clear influences from jazz.
Classical elegance meets Latin American pulse
ENCRUZILHADAS means crossroads in Portuguese and accurately describes the musical idea of this evening. In the orchestration of the trio, warm cello bows meet precise guitar lines and a versatile drumming style. The musicians break genre boundaries not with coarse gestures but through fine synchronization, rhythmic energy, and spontaneous improvisation.
Live atmosphere at Wellensiek House
The former church hall of the Wellensiek House creates an intimate setting for concentrated listening. The special acoustics allow each instrument to emerge distinctly: The cello carries the melodic depth, the guitar creates harmonic spaces, and the drums provide lively counterpoints. This creates a concert experience that combines chamber music precision with the audience atmosphere of a small, vibrant music evening.
A concert with room for surprises
The Trio Esquina relies on passion, joy of play, and the willingness to let musical moments arise spontaneously. Between Brazilian and Cuban tradition, classical form, and jazz-influenced freedom, a sound develops that is as sensual as it is virtuosic. The evening invites you to experience Latin American music from a new chamber music perspective.
Conclusion: A musical crossroads in Bielefeld
ENCRUZILHADAS promises an intense evening with cello, guitar, and drums, full of rhythmic movement, tonal finesse, and improvisational openness. Anyone wanting to experience chamber music, jazz, and Latin American sound worlds live will find a special concert date at Wellensiek House. Admission is at your discretion.
