;

Her mastery of both
instruments is impressive, but so is her take on music: it is fun, it
is light-footed, rhythmically and structurally complex, emotional and technically superb.

Silke Eberhard is a force in contemporary jazz. Her music is both transparent and biting, blending technical mastery with a passionate, confrontational style.

Eberhard’s compositions are highly compressed and complex, delivered with a dry humor and incisive commentary through her instruments.

Hannes Zerbe
"The audience was treated to nothing less than revolutionary art: In the fusion of jazz and new music with which the composer Hannes Zerbe, who accompanied and conducted his musicians Jürgen Kupke (clarinet), Silke Eberhard (alto saxophone) and Christian Marien (drums) on the grand piano, resounded the groans, The groans, sighs and pleas of the ‘far too many’ abandoned to their fate on a raft by the ‘feathered hats’ and epaulet bearers after the shipwreck of the frigate Medusa in 1816 resounded and swelled into a cry for the revolutionary act that would put an end to injustice. Rolf Becker's recitations from the libretto were particularly impressive due to his reduction and condensation of the text material – especially when his performance turned into a play of the actors' roles.." Melodie & Rhythmus, Susann Witt-Stahl
