For his 28 years, the composer Vahid Matejko seems astonishingly detached. Openness and curiosity, but also his roots, characterize the life and work of the Berlin-born composer. Whether it's Turkish or Arabic music, music from the Balkans, Klezmer, African or Balinese music, the 28-year-old literally absorbs it all. Vahid Matejko has an exciting way of adapting music from different cultures with profound understanding and always brings forth something new and independent. The result is an exciting multicultural listening experience: top-class compositions and arrangements with 59 musicians from five continents. That is international understanding. Vahid Matejko not only talks about it, he lives it.
