A one-night-only lush and dreamy performance by a remarkable trio of improvisers on tabla drum, accordion, piano, and bass.

DeCollage ( French “to take off” / “to become unglued [from ground or water]”) is an improvising trio of Accordion (Simone Baron), Upright Bass (Adi Meyerson), and Tabla (Krissy Bergmark) formed from relationships built slowly over many years converging in a sudden breathtaking moment of musical lift-off. Taking inspiration from the more literal English etymology of deconstructing a collage, these three artists build worlds through the ever shifting process of bringing together and coming apart. The trio explores soundscapes where textures, traditions, and personal geographies are cut, pasted, unraveled, and reimagined. Their music intersects ritual with experimentation—a sacred space where memory, body, and place converge.

Coming together for the first time in October of 2024 for an improvised set at Mutual Mentorship for Musician’s M3 Festival and Roulette in NYC, the three began to craft a sound that centers on patience and balance. They have also been featured at the Catalytic festival in DC, and in August were trio in residence at the Red Corral Ranch in Wimberly, TX. Their work centers around the delicate balance of “just enough”—like water, an element that heals, transforms, and destroys depending on its measure. Improvisation becomes a lived somatic practice, a way of listening to the world and to one another, drawing from personal rituals, grief, joy, and the wild landscapes they each inhabit.

With its members scattered across the United States, DeCollage itself is a quantum murmuration, a moving constellation—three dots on a map whose rare convergences yield sonic collages honoring both distance and reunion, listening in on multiple realities simultaneously.

Bassist Adi Meyerson played and studied with some of the finest jazz musicians in the world: Amit Golan, Amos Hoffman, Ofer Ganor, Danny Rosenfeld, Erez Bar Noy, Yuval Cohen, Jimmy Cobb, Mulgrew Miller, Peter Bernstein and Eddie Henderson. Adi graduated from the prestigious New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where she received an opportunity to study with some of the great masters of the style such as Reggie Workman, Ron Carter, Charles Tolliver, Kirk Nurock, Billy Harper, Bob Cranshaw and many more. Based in New York City, Adi performs at venues such as Mezzrow, Smalls Jazz Club, Fat Cat, Smoke Jazz, Minton's, Zinc Bar, and Dizzy's Coca Cola.

Simone Baron is a polyglot pianist, accordionist, improviser and composer. A listener of sounds beneath, within and beyond, her music plays at the intersection of the familiar and the avant-garde. Simone was educated at Oberlin and Tel Aviv University and joyfully de-educated at festivals and performances across Europe and the Americas. Simone has won grants, fellowships and residencies from Chamber Music America, South Arts, Maryland State Arts Council, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Hambidge Center, Bloedel Reserve, Istituto Sacatar, iPark, Strathmore Foundation, ArtOMI, UMD, Avaloch Farm, the Banff Centre, and Spectrum Toronto. In 2016 Simone founded Arco Belo, a GenreFluid chamber ensemble. Simone is a Victoria Artist and plays a Poeta XB Accordion.

Krissy Bergmark is a tabla player, percussionist, improviser, and composer whose work treats rhythm as lineage, memory, and possibility. Rooted in her long-term study with maestro Pandit Yogesh Samsi of the Punjab Gharana, she brings the tabla into contemporary, improvised, and cross-genre spaces. Her performance and teaching practice spans concert halls, community arts organizations, and classrooms nationwide. She has led workshops with Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect, Minnesota Public Radio’s Class Notes, Mandala South Asian Performing Arts, and Percussive Arts Society chapters across the Midwest, and has performed at the Banff Centre, Art Omi, Avaloch Farm, and Saga på Rott (Norway).
