A unique timbre and wonderfully complex compositions and arrangements - that's what singer and composer Sophie Tassignon stands for. With KHYAL, she enables us to experience a musical encounter between cultures. The project stands for tolerance and acceptance of peoples from all over the world, regardless of origin or belief systems, and the music makes it possible to experience the beauty and artistry that can be created through cross-cultural collaboration.

In “KHYAL”, poetic Arabic and Hebrew texts are mixed with jazz traditions from Europe and North America, and the group, which consists of four international musicians based in Berlin, performs settings of the words of Mahmoud Darwish and Rachel Tzvia Bach, among others.
Other lyrics were written by Sophie Tassignon and translated from English into Arabic by Lebanese poet Hicham Nasr. “Searching For Peace”: a program that combines Arabic and Hebrew poetry and aims to convey a powerful message of peace and unity through music.
With this project, Tassignon aims to create a symbol of hope and understanding.
