NIESCIER / PORTUGAL

​

Polish-German saxophonist Angelika Niescier and Brazilian drummer Mariá Portugal have joined forces in a duo that’s less like music and more like a sonic rollercoaster on a cosmic road trip. Niescier, a wizard of the sax with award-winning powers, and Portugal, a genre-surfing drumming dynamo who seems equally at home in pop, Brazilian beats, and sounds that might summon UFOs, create a whirlwind of vibes that makes audiences wonder if they’re in a jazz club, an experimental science lab, or maybe even another dimension. Together, they unravel a musical dialogue that swings from intense to whisper-soft in a heartbeat, filled with improvisational sparks and wild twists. Their shows are pure auditory teleportation—hold on tight, because they’re breaking sound barriers and taking the audience somewhere delightfully, unpredictably far out.
