Lea Gas­ser 5tet

Jazz, folk and chamber music meet Iceland’s rugged beauty.
On her new album “Circles”, Swiss accordionist Lea Gasser explores intimate soundscapes and rhythmic complexity. The compositions, featuring lyrical melodies, striking bass lines and atmospheric textures, were created during a residency in Iceland that has left an audible mark. Images of rugged landscapes, melancholic expanses and the cyclical movement of nature and time flow into her music, at times lively and dancing, at others dreamy and unhurried. On the first evening, the band will also be enriched by the authentic, warm voice of Sibyl Hofstetter.
