Bielefeld Tickets

BIELEFELD is a boundary-pushing ensemble rooted in improvised, avant-jazz and contemporary classical traditions. Influenced by the AACM ethos, the group blends free exploration with structured composition, creating immersive performances that reward attentive listening. Comprised of Felix Nussbaumer on tenor saxophone and as the primary composer, Nelly Jüsten on prepared piano, and Pascal Widmer handling drums, percussion, and electronics, BIELEFELD is a collaboration built on trust, risk-taking, and the pursuit of sound as an architectural experience.

Based in part on cross-continental avant-garde lineage, the trio emphasizes texture, timbre, and spontaneous dialogue. They’ve cultivated a distinct voice that resonates with fans of experimental jazz and contemporary classical scenes alike, drawing audiences who seek music that unfolds in real time rather than follows conventional form.

Bandcamp notes their releases and connections to video and social media, including YouTube and Instagram, making it easy to follow the group’s latest explorations and performances. If you’re in search of thoughtful, fearless live music, BIELEFELD offers a compelling encounter.
