An evening full of fine tensions, open hearts, and great sound poetry
With Hearts Wide Open, Fiona Grond presents a program on September 25, 2026 at the Kulturzentrum Tempel / Scenario Halle in Karlsruhe, combining chamber jazz, avant-pop, and new music into an intensely radiant live experience. The singer and composer, who grew up in Switzerland and trained in Munich, embodies music that doesn't need to be loud to resonate deeply: transparent, vulnerable, intricate, and full of inner movement.
Between chamber ensemble and free improvisation
Grond's new sextet relies on delicate orchestration rather than mere effects. Violin, cello, piano, bass, and drums frame a voice that opens spaces, illuminates pauses, and makes every friction consciously audible. In this mix of composition and collective improvisation, a live atmosphere emerges that attracts rather than pressures: concentrated, breathing, with cinematic soundscapes and surprising ruptures.
A sound image with attitude and depth
Fiona Grond works with conscious contrasts, between delicate lineation and freely flowing moments. This is where the strength of this concert experience lies: The pieces do not follow quick effect-chasing, but a natural dramaturgy. Those who love contemporary jazz will find a refined stage for dynamics, timbres, and emotional precision here.
The artist and her profile
Since her jazz singing and composition studies in Munich, Fiona Grond has established herself internationally. Her trio Interspaces released the album Poesias on the ACT label; she has also received the Leonhard-und-Ida-Wolf Memorial Prize and the music scholarship from the City of Munich, among others. These awards underline her authority in a scene where artistic independence matters.
The temple as a suitable resonance space
The Kulturzentrum Tempel / Scenario Halle at Hardtstraße 37a provides the ideal setting for this format. The venue is known as a vibrant center for free art and music; the Scenario Halle is considered a fitting space for acoustically sensitive productions. Proximity to the stops Lameyplatz and Kärcherstraße facilitates access, and there is also parking available in the area.
Conclusion: A concert for attentive ears and open senses
Fiona Grond's Hearts Wide Open promises not just any jazz concert, but a finely constructed, emotionally dense live experience between intimacy and expansiveness. Anyone seeking music that touches, challenges, and lingers long after should not miss this evening in Karlsruhe.
