Sarah Davachi

Venue: Gedächtniskirche

Sarah Davachi is devoted to the subtle architecture of sound, composing her music through duration, tuning, and the delicate motion of timbre across time. After her celebrated performance at CTM 2026, she returns to Berlin to present new material for solo organ at Gedächtniskirche.

Davachi's work draws attention to the smallest shifts in resonance, drawn from a language informed by the minimalism of early music and experimental composition. Once these tones unfurl, the environment begins to feel suspended between memory and presence. An unhurried gravity forms, allowing textures to bloom gradually and reveal their inner complexity. Harmonic relationships breathe and recalibrate, beckoning the ear towards heightened awareness of vibration and intonation, subsuming them within the physical sensation of sound itself.

With a forthcoming album arriving later this year, Davachi continues this exploration through a renewed focus on organ works alongside strings and voice. For this performance, she will be presenting this new material.
