Maurice Dickson in Duisburg: KOMED brings music into the moment
On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, the KROHNE corporate headquarters in Duisburg will transform into a sound space for an extraordinary concert format. Maurice Dickson is part of the first edition of KOMED, the KOnzert-MEDitation 2026/2027, which understands contemporary music as a communal spontaneous creation.
When attention turns into music
At the center is attentive listening. Text, sound, and moment are examined under the lens of perception, interconnected, and shaped into a musical process in real-time. Each acoustic event contributes to the whole while the participants are guided by a collectively recognized idea.
Irish folk meets improvised present
Curator Michael Gees describes the collaboration with Maurice Dickson as a musical encounter of two initially distant worlds. Dickson is known in the English and Irish folk scene as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. His work combines Irish folk, blues, expressive guitar picking, and a distinctive voice with lyrics that embody melancholy, hope, and beauty.
A stage without a fixed script
KOMED relies on immediate communication, open forms, and the willingness to make musical decisions in the moment. The approximately one-hour performance thrives on reaction, synchronization, and concentrated stage presence. The audience also becomes part of the concert experience through their intentional listening.
A musician with international stage experience
Maurice Dickson hails from Northern Ireland and has been touring internationally since 1979. He has performed at folk festivals and concerts across Europe, North Africa, the USA, and other countries. His releases include titles such as The Dreamer, Where Eagles Fly, Live At Stonehaven, Country Pickin' Blues Live, and The Jester's Dance Live In Belfast.
Conclusion: Music that exists only in the moment
Visitors can expect a concert that deviates from familiar patterns, offering a concentrated live experience between folk, improvisation, and contemporary sound meditation. Those bringing open ears for unexpected turns, fine acoustics, and collaboratively created music will experience Maurice Dickson up close in Duisburg. Mark the date now and experience KOMED live.
