Monika Lidke 'Pure Listening'

About this event

Monika Lidke presents Pure Listening , her fifth studio album and most intimate work to date. Written during a period of profound personal transformation, it is a lyrical meditation on presence, resilience and the healing power of music. Blending poetic jazz-folk, subtle world rhythms, expressive storytelling and moments of playful musical exchange, Pure Listening invites audiences into an intimate concert experience where spontaneity and connection unfold naturally between the musicians. Together, they create a space that encourages us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves and one another, and rediscover the quiet beauty and transformative power of deep listening. London-based singer, songwriter and storyteller Monika Lidke has carved out a distinctive place on the contemporary jazz scene with music that effortlessly weaves together jazz, folk and world influences. Born in Poland, artistically shaped in Paris and now firmly established in London, she brings a uniquely European voice to her songwriting, blending poetic lyricism, intimate storytelling and expressive improvisation. Described by Jazz FM as "fresh and individual" and by BBC Radio London as "absolutely beautiful", Monika is renowned for performances that are both emotionally engaging and musically adventurous. Her warm, crystalline voice and deeply personal songs invite audiences into a space of reflection, connection and celebration.
