Elliott Sharp solo in Bonn: Avant-garde concert in the Dialogue Space Kreuzung an St. Helena

Elliott Sharp brings Bonn into the resonance space of improvisation

On October 7, 2026, one of the most exciting voices of the New York avant-garde meets a focused concert audience in the Dialogue Space Kreuzung an St. Helena in Bonn: Elliott Sharp performs solo on the 8-string GuitarBass with electronics. The project is part of the In Situ Art Society presents The Dissonant Series 175 and brings together an artist who has been pushing the boundaries between experimental, free jazz, noise, rock, and contemporary composition since the late 1970s.

Between strength and fine structure

Sharp is recognized as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, author, and visual artist who works with fractal geometry, chaos theory, and graphic notation. This is precisely where the appeal of his solo performance lies: Each stroke, each feedback noise, each rhythmic shift works like part of a larger architecture. His oeuvre includes well over 85 recordings, ranging from solo works to projects like Carbon, Terraplane, and Orchestra Carbon.

A space built on sound

The Dialogue Space Kreuzung an St. Helena is located at Bornheimer Straße 130 in 53119 Bonn-Nordstadt and is a special church space for concerts and dialogue formats. The space is described as an almost square cube on the upper floor; the architecture supports an intimate live atmosphere where even quiet textures and microdetails of sound become clearly audible.

Why this concert is electrifying

Sharp has established a reputation as a uncompromising explorer of sound in the international scene. He has been awarded the Berlin Prize, the Annual Prize of the German Record Critics, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Fellowship from the Center for Transformative Media, among others. For Bonn, this does not mean just a concert, but a concert experience with artistic depth, technical precision, and improvisational tension.
