For classical musicians, every note counts. How do they deal with the free improvisation of a jazz trio?
The Yannic Forster Trio has taken on the experiment. With only his own work, the German pianist and bandleader Yannic Forster puts four classically trained string players to work. The result is the new EP ‘From East to West’.

“I was enchanted by Yannic Forster’s composition. The lyrical purity of it, spacious and captivating with a variety of colors, as the trio played intensely as if it were one breath: I felt a spiritual connection bubbling up that we are going to explore together!” Says Denise Jannah.
The Yannic Forster Trio has won the Denise Jannah award. They win a performance together with Denise Jannah during the 26th edition of the Grachtenfestival.
