The Dorf is domicil's house orchestra. Founded in the Ruhr area as a self-help initiative against lone wolves, "The Dorf" reflects many social processes and topics. From gender justice to political reflections - this heterogeneous group discusses everything and processes it musically. A collective that addresses political issues in its songs and emphasizes the importance of community, acceptance and respectful dialogue.
The ensemble of 25 musicians has been meeting here since 2016 for monthly workshop concerts, specials with guests, festivals, film premieres (unforgettable: Jazzsoup!) and all kinds of other creative activities, shaping a new sound in the Ruhr region: utopian beats, noise, improv. Word of this new sound has spread far beyond the region with invitations to major European festivals, clubs and concert series.
Jan Klare, saxophonist and composer, is the main force behind the collective, and the line-up is constantly being renewed and creatively developed across generations.
Always new, always different, always a party!
