North Sea String Quartet joins Brazilian singer Lilian Vieira to offer an exquisite selection of Brazilian classics in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. “Nuvem Negra” (Gal Costa), “Mais Que Nada” (Sergio Mendes) or “Caxanga” (Elis Regina) are some of the songs that will sound in an evening full of unexpected turns, intense improvisations and marked, at the same time, by the originality and rhythmic solidity that characterizes the NSSQ.

A danceable triptych entirely inspired by drum ‘n bass and EDM. Here, Pablo Rodríguez uses an electronic ‘stompbox’ to mimic the sound of a bass drum. Effects such as ‘delay’ and ‘distortion’ are mimicked acoustically. A wide range of innovative percussive techniques are unleashed on the string instruments, and there is plenty of room for improvisation.

You can call it chamber jazz, but the members of the North Sea String Quartet will be the last ones to try and limit their work by mere stylistic descriptions.

Four creative minds combining their full potential and diverse musical backgrounds, creating a unique sound, and having a lot of fun in doing so.
