Manon Müllener solo (CH) + Natalia Passos (BE)

The PAUSE series is once again partnering with PROPULSION, the cross-border support programme dedicated to emerging jazz talent. Now in its fourth edition, the programme continues its commitment to providing young artists with the resources and guidance they need to develop their own projects and establish themselves as bandleaders. On this occasion, neimënster will welcome the Swiss and Belgian laureates of PropulsionLEAD 2026, who will perform consecutive 40-minute showcase sets. Manon Müllener Manon Mullener brings to life intimate musical landscapes at the piano, where childhood memories intertwined with far-flung rhythms. Rooted in both jazz and French chanson, she has developed a distinctive musical voice. Shaped by Havana, her musical world brings together timeless melodies and Cuban impulses in a sensitive musical narrative, where every note invites the listener on a journey and suspends time. Natalia Passos Singer and composer Natalia Passos reimagines the tale of Baba Yaga, blending music and illustration. Both poetic and thought-provoking, the performance immerses the audience in the fascinating world of this iconic figure from Eastern European folklore. At the intersections of folk and jazz, this quartet explores the richness of a multicultural identity, creating a space for reflection and introspection. Influenced by artists such as Cécile McLorin Salvant, Milton Nascimento and Vedan Kolod, Natalia Passos has developed a distinctive artistic universe where tradition and modernity, storytelling and improvisation, music and visual art come together.
