Britta Virves Trio "Juniper" CD-Release

In the organizer's words:

Immerse yourself in the beautiful soundscapes of Estonian pianist and composer Britta Virves and her trio! Her piano compositions will take you on a captivating journey through the wonders of nature and their very own stories. Creative rhythms, repetitive patterns, compositional clarity and intuitive interplay - the music is developed in detail with sophistication, yet retains breadth and emotional depth.

Born on the picturesque island of Saaremaa in 1991, Britta started playing the piano at the age of seven and discovered her passion for jazz and improvisation in her youth. After her studies at the Estonian Academy of Music and Drama and an inspiring year in Denmark, she moved to Stockholm, where she met Jonas Bäckman and Jon Henriksson, her talented bandmates in the Britta Virves Trio.

In Stockholm, Britta Virves has developed into a celebrated pianist and has collaborated with renowned musicians. Numerous awards, including the Jazz Club Fasching Society Award (2020) and the Uno Naissoo Composition Contest (2016) in Estonia, underline her extraordinary talent.

In 2020, the Britta Virves Trio wowed audiences with a concert on Swedish radio that was broadcast in several European countries. You can look forward to the music from their debut album "Juniper", which was released on guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel's "Heartcore" label. A concert that touches the heart and senses and presents a self-confident and independent young artist from whom more will be heard in the future.

Press quotes: "When I hear Britta play, I hear a connected soul who's able to communicate through the touch and sound of the piano. Her trio is in sync with this sensitivity and together, they create a highly dynamic and satisfying listening experience" - Kurt Rosenwinkel. "A few music creators have managed to achieve a balance between linguistic brilliance, emotional charge and genuine trust. Britta Virves belongs to this rare crowd and Juniper is a wonderful manifestation of her rhetorical ability. Carefully and patiently created stories that rarely follow the expected path. You simply cannot stop listening." - Joakim Milder (Swedish Grammy-nominated saxophonist, composer and arranger, Golden Disc 2022 winner and artistic director of Norrbotten Big Band)
