“Jazz Standards”

For the last concert night of June, our two residents Kalev Karlson and Nikita Korzoun have joined forces. The duo will also introduce and lean on the support of July's resident Lota-Loviisa Rohtla on bass. The ensemble performs the well-known American Songbook repertoire, seeking beautiful improvisational melodies and sensitive musicianship.
