JAZZBAROQUE

As a string quartet, we have been playing together and befriending each other for over a quarter of a century. Through the music we perform, we convey the values and fascinations that accompany us, bringing musical joy for years. We share what plays in our hearts and what makes our music authentic. Such is the essence of the JazzBaroque project. The idea of combining various styles from distant epochs resonated in our minds and hearts. Drawing on themes from the great masters of the Baroque era, we have transferred them into our musical realm, enabling us to also be creators of harmonies, rhythms, and emotions that are uniquely ours and flow from within us.
