She is one of the voices in modern jazz : Kiki Manders. One who goes her own way, in search of the familiar unknown. Born and raised in Venlo, Kiki Manders traded Amsterdam and New York for Berlin and built an international career there.

Her Albums ''Love is Yours is Mine'' and "Universe in a Shoebox" received rave reviews and ensured success on international stages and festivals such as the A L'arme Festival in Berlin and the Molde Jazz Festival in Norway. Manders was in the finals of the Voicingers International Singers Competition in Poland and was a semi-finalist in the Brussels Young Jazz Singers Vocal Competition. Her EP "Symphony of Stars" was released in December 2022.

In duo with Cologne-based guitarist Philipp Brämswig, the pair accompanied by Ben van Gelder on alto saxophone, will play a specially curated programme of compositions by Manders and arrangements of pieces chosen for and by this special line-up.
