Wolfgang Muthspiel (A/CH), one of Europe’s best-known and most influential musicians, presents hisChamber Trioalongside Colin Vallon (piano / CH) and Mario Rom (trumpet / A)—chamber music that is lyrical, open, and melodious. The Chamber Trio’s music is characterized by diverse timbres, moments of serene silence, and rhythmic energy.

Joanna Duda (p, elec / PL) and her trio are among the hottest acts on the younger European jazz scene.Together with Michał Bryndal (dr, fx / PL) and Jort Terwijn (bs / NL), she performs high-energy music that is communicative, dense, intense, and full of spirit. Enhanced by electronic instruments and effects, the quality of this unique trio speaks for itself—with an uncompromising, direct, and yet accessible sound.
