Schedule
Violinist Zoltán Lantos graduated from the Liszt Academy of Music with a degree in classical music. He lived in India for eight and a half years, from which and from his experiences in the field of contemporary European jazz he built up his own musical world. He has played and continues to play with some of the biggest names on the national and international jazz scene, but he also performs solo, using special electronic effects and loops, which will be heard throughout the evening. His solo album "Alchemyholic", released in 2024, was voted Jazz Album of the Year by the Jazz.hu online jazz portal.
Okos Viola, singer and instrumentalist of Odd ID (Ethnofil), Makám quartet and Fuvalom, has been involved in music since childhood and was introduced to the stage through folk music by her family. He has been influenced by many other musical genres, and as a performer he also works in popular music styles, and for a few years as a solo artist.
His folk-inspired solo EP "Where I go", released in 2024, combines alternative genres alongside folk music motifs, with a clear, pensive, atmospheric world.
Combining elements of Scandinavian jazz and electronic music, l| parallel lifeforms l| is a band formed by Balázs Bank, percussionist and composer of the l| parallel lifeforms l|.
