Koncz Kriszta Group

Koncz Kriszta Group's first album, Travel in Time explores a wide range of topics with a distinct musical character: it tells us about childhood, parent-child relationships, the nature of change, moments of creation, the art of letting go, different forms of love, and the passing of time. The singer's own English texts and the songs themselves all reflect her personal experiences and visions. Most members of the group are professional jazz musicians, but classical music, popular music, folk and theatre music also appear among their studies and influences, providing a colourful background to the performance. The repertoire, rooted in jazz, sometimes reminiscent of pop, sometimes of '60s and '70s American folk music, comes to an even brighter life thanks to the orchestration of Ábel Tompa.

Kriszta Koncz founded the ensemble in 2023, and they made their debut at the Müpa Budapest Jazz Showcase 2024, winning the Audience Award and the special prize of Veronika Harcsa. The full material of their first album, to be released in February, can be heard live for the first time at this concert.
