Goethe Lounge: Mary Ocher

Next date: Wednesday, 09 April 2025 | 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Berlin's quirky singer-songwriter comes to Sydney

Mary Ocher is a singer and songwriter who blurs the lines between pop and avant-garde. Her colorful, playful music is packed with cultural and historical references. Born in Moscow, she moved to Tel Aviv as a child, where themes of nationalism and xenophobia influenced her creative outlook. As a young adult, she relocated to Berlin and became a key figure in its underground scene.

Mary Ocher has toured 40 countries worldwide and has collaborated with Mogwai, King Khan and Felix Kubin, among others. Her genre-defying work spans folk, garage, ambient, and experimental pop. Her releases often come with texts or essays, reflecting her commitment to underground music.

Goethe Lounge: A series of events at the Goethe-Institut in Sydney. Curated by our programming team and presented in collaboration with a range of Australian partner organisations. Live music, talks, and other events in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere.

Proudly supported by Woollahra Council’s Grants Program.
