FABIA MANTWILL QUINTET
|
Fabia Mantwill's music encompasses the beauty of our world in an organic, powerful and creative way rarely captured by contemporary musicians. Drawing inspiration from both cultural and intimate space, her soulful compositions and playing are characterized through strong melody, lyricism and rhythmical elements - all merging together and expanded by five fantastic musicians. Her music breathes and touches. Soft blurred lines are dancing over a energetic texture of sound. The synthesis of cello and tenor saxophone as well as her soft yet powerful voice are drawing a fragile and colorful painting between sound and space. |

DUO FORMATIONS
LETTERS ON LEAVES
|
Letters On Leaves is an exciting new trio that’s turning the conventional genres upside down by taking multiple musical traditions and merging them with their love for poetry, a strong connection with nature, deep self-reflection and joyful spirits. The outcome is a sound that’s emotional yet daring, driving yet soothing. |
|
The openness of each individual musician and the unique instrumentation of the trio - with voice, saxophone, string instruments and pianos - creates a vast range of new possibilities for artistic expression that involves three-part singing, fugue-like accompaniment, Irish folk song or guitar patterns in the tradition of the great songwriters of the 60s. |
TRIO MOYONI
|
The musicians of the international Trio Moyoni (IRE, GER, USA/TAN) met in 2015 at the renowned Sibelius Academy, Helsinki and worked together as a group for two years.
Despite contrasting backgrounds, they connected through music and began sharing and creating it together, bringing folk, jazz and world music together using their voices and the sounds of cello, guitar and saxophone. Drawing on these cultural backgrounds & influences forms their lyrical sound that resonates around the world; each musician is a 'collector' of songs yet also composes original material. You will hear exciting rhythms and songs from Tanzania, Brazilian temperament but also sweet Irish harp music and tones from jazz; all elements that mold the heartfelt music of Trio 'Moyoni' - which translates to 'from their hearts' in Swahili (Tanzania). |
