Mary Ocher returns with the marvelous piano album „Weimar“, her most intimate record to date, with a special one-off homecoming Berlin release show to be followed by dates in the UK and all over Europe.
The show features a special guest and a panel on individual freedoms and censorship in the past 100 years vs today.
„Weimar“ draws on early 20th-century minimalism, chamber pop, and modern classical influences, while remaining unmistakably Ocher – thoughtful, and grounded in emotional depth. The title „Weimar“ alludes to the current era, echoing the fall of the Weimar Republic a century ago and the shadow of fascism that rose in its wake.

Born in Moscow to Jewish-Ukrainian parents and raised in Tel Aviv during political and religious turmoil, she learned from a very young age that questioning authority was a means of survival – and that it came at a hefty price. At 20, she escaped to Berlin, where she became a central underground figure, known for her uncompromising politics and critical writing on nationalism and war, influenced by her upbringing.
