A Tribute to Hermeto Pascoal - Berlin, HKW, 11.11.2026

In the summer of 2015, Hermeto Pascoal and his musicians came to Germany to team up with the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra. It was the first and only time that Hermeto Pascoal traveled outside of Brazil to play his own music arranged by someone else - composer, arranger, and saxophonist Daniel Glatzel.

In Berlin, this collaboration performed two sold-out shows at Radialsystem V, an unforgettable encounter that became legendary among those who were there.
Now, in November 2026, the two forces reunite at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Although Hermeto won't be physically present this time, everyone who knew him best will be.

Hermeto's Mothership, formed by Itibere Zwarg, Fabio Pascoal, Andre Marques, Ajurina Zwarg, and Jota P., consists of the musicians who shared the stage with Hermeto across the world for decades. Joining them is Mariana Zwarg, a flutist, Hermeto's goddaughter, and daughter of Itibere, carrying the music forward from within the family to which it belongs.

Together with the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra, they honor a body of work that continues to surprise, move, and liberate. The Mothership, as Hermeto always said, was built to keep flying.
