Concert hall

A superstar Danish bass-piano duo, an exciting Iranian solo project and a great solo performance by Lőrinc Barabás in an evening where we travel around the world from multiple directions and step out of every dimension.

Bremer/McCoy


The duo was formed in 2012 by two former schoolmates, bassist Jonathan Bremer and pianist Morten McCoy.

They debuted with the album "Enhed" in 2013.

Both members have been nominated for the critics' award Steppeulven, including categories such as "Musician of the Year" and "Composer of the Year" Jonathan Bremer won the former.

"Kosmos" will be the duo's sixth album.

Bremer/McCoy’s previous album "Natten" (2021) received numerous positive reviews, including 4/6 stars in Politiken and 5/6 in Gaffa.

They have around 400,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and their latest album

"Natten" has streamed over 6.4 million times.

Internationally, Bremer/McCoy is released on the prestigious label Luaka Bop, founded by David Byrne.

Ava Rasti


Ava Rasti is an Iranian-born artist, creating and composing out of the country’s capital, Tehran. Both a pianist and bass guitarist, in her late teens Rasti founded a post-punk girl group in Tehran. Since 2020, she has worked solo, experimenting at the intersection of ambient, modern classical, and drone. Her interest in storytelling has led her to compose for film, with soundtracks including The Great Yawn of History and 1001 Frames (presented at Berlinale). Following a series of sonically evolving singles, she self-released the long-players Ginestra and The Living Room. FatCat Records’ 130701 post-classical imprint has since signed Rasti’s latest set, The River.

Barabás Lőrinc

  

Barabás Lőrinc, trumpet player and composer, is an influential character of the improvised music scene in Budapest, providing like-minded individuals the opportunity to experiment with the nexus of jazz, electronic and classical music. His avant-garde approach in composing guides the audience to explore music in a multi-dimensional, instinctive way, by bringing them on voyage to unanticipated contemporary or sometimes wild tribal regions. The essence of his uniqueness is to create a sensitively vibrating harmonic state without any expectations towards his listeners.

Barabás released eleven albums since 2007 with his different bands and projects (Barabás Lőrinc Eklektric, Barabás Lőrinc Quartet, Random Szerda, Barabás Lőrinc Solo Live Act), and currently preparing a set of solo songs to be out in 2023. He is a very active performer and prolific artist, always striving for something new and innovative. In 2019 and 2022 he composed two pieces for symphonic orchestra, which opened a new direction for him in the scene of contemporary classical music.

Over the past fifteen years he played and shared the stage with several internationally recognized artists, like Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Erik Truffaz, Nikola Conte, Nils Petter Molvaer or Niklas Paschburg. He collabo- rated with US singer Valerie June on her album, and played with her at events like the Montreux Jazz Festival and the iTunes Festival in London. He also played at the Noosa Jazz festival in Australia, North Sea Jazz Fes- tival in the Netherlands, Bestival in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong Jazz Festival, numerous music venues in The United States, Ficamazonia Film Festival in Columbia or the Dubai World Expo 2020 besides others.

BARABÁS LŐRINC SOLO

Barabás opened his world up to solo performance with his 2013 album Sastra, which was followed by Elevator Dance Music in 2015. Capturing the zeitgeist, Algorhythms (2019) was released on a flash disk packaged in a CD case. His solo project is based on jazz and electronic music, sometimes mixed with a more classical playing style. In addition to the trumpet, he uses keyboard instruments, a looper and other sound modulators to play his original, semi-improvised compositions. He combines meditative, “chill-out” moods and dancing rhythms, as well as all shades in between. His multi-instrumental music-making is not only worth hearing, but also to watch, as it is a spectacular and unique performance. With their definite sense of character, his pieces are almost like film soundtracks, placing more and more emphasis on the piano.
